Merge branch 'x86-microcode-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull x86 microcode updates from Borislav Petkov:
 "This converts the late loading method to load the microcode in
  parallel (vs sequentially currently). The patch remained in linux-next
  for the maximum amount of time so that any potential and hard to debug
  fallout be minimized.

  Now cloud folks have their milliseconds back but all the normal people
  should use early loading anyway :-)"

* 'x86-microcode-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
  x86/microcode/intel: Issue the revision updated message only on the BSP
  x86/microcode: Update late microcode in parallel
  x86/microcode/amd: Fix two -Wunused-but-set-variable warnings
