I'm trying to understand the twisty logic here.
There are three cases:
(1) old rev < update rev
=> update gets applied
(2) old rev == update rev
=> cpu_ucode_intel_match() returns succe

Hi,
this diff allows us to load the Intel microcode much earlier. So far
we load it after the CPUs have identified and then have to update the
CPU flags afterwards. This is not good since we have to assume that
those updates can remove and add instructions and other features. We
need to load it
