Ashok Raj c182d2b7d0 x86/microcode/intel: Check microcode revision before updating sibling threads
After updating microcode on one of the threads of a core, the other
thread sibling automatically gets the update since the microcode
resources on a hyperthreaded core are shared between the two threads.

Check the microcode revision on the CPU before performing a microcode
update and thus save us the WRMSR 0x79 because it is a particularly
expensive operation.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
