If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Borislav Petkov commit d8c3b52c00a05036e0a6b315b4b17921a7b67997 upstream. The cache might contain a newer patch - look in there first. A follow-on change will make sure newest patches are loaded into the cache of microcode patches.
