Hi Greg

Here is a series that addresses microcode loading stability issues post Spectre. All of them are simply cherry-picked and the patches themselves have the upstream commit ID's.

I checked this for Intel platforms and thanks to Boris for checking on AMD platforms.

Thanks, now queued up.

I'm still working on a 4.9 backport, will send those once i get them to work. stop_machine differences seem big enough that i might choose a different approach for the 4.9 backport.

Ick, be careful, it's best to stick with almost identical code where ever possible. Otherwise you are almost always guaranteed to break something :(
