Subject: Re: [PATCH 0/2] x86/microcode: support for microcode update in Xen dom0
Date: Mon, 31 Jan 2011 17:11:17 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4D475DB5.1020300@zytor.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <4D475099.1080004@goop.org>

Note: Xen may not have devices, but it is already using multiboot to 
load multiple modules.  It could load the microcode blob that way.

That would enable an earlier loading of microcode, which is a very good 
thing.
