Subject: [PATCH 3/15 -tip] x86: Add cpufeature for Microcode update
Date: Mon, 11 May 2009 22:14:14 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1242060254.5139.12.camel@ht.satnam> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1242060207.5139.11.camel@ht.satnam>


Setting microcode update feature to friendly access of UCODE MSRs like:
1. IA32_PLATFORM_ID (Intel)
2. IA32_UCODE_WRITE (Intel)
3. IA32_UCODE_REV (Intel)
4. MSR_AMD64_PATCH_LEVEL (AMD)
5. MSR_AMD64_PATCH_LOADER (AMD)
