PATCH v3 1/1 x86: Use microcode update from device tree for all processors

From: Ivan Gorinov <[email protected]>

Built without a ROM image with FSP (u-boot.rom), the U-Boot loader applies the microcode update data block encoded in Device Tree to the bootstrap processor but not passed to the other CPUs when multiprocessing is enabled.

If the bootstrap processor successfully performs a microcode update from Device Tree, use the same data block for the other processors.

I don't think the update to arch/x86/cpu/i386/cpu.c in previous version is needed as mp_params.microcode_pointer is not needed during the MP boot. Please test this patch to see if it works on your board.

Did you get a chance to test this? If no issue, I will take this patch for v2018.07.
