Subject: Re: [PATCH 2/2] Fixed broken microcode early loading on 32 bit platforms because it always jumps past cpuid in sync_core() as data structure boot_cpu_data are not populated so early in boot. This is for 4.4. Should be done for 4.9 too

Yeah, basically its a fix for early microcode load on x86 for 4.4 longterm
Just tried to say same problem exists on 4.9 too

This is not the correct way to submit patches for inclusion in the
stable kernel tree. Please read:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/stable-kernel-rules.html
for how to do this properly.
