Thread-topic: [PATCH 2/4][Xen-devel] X86 microcode: microcode logic update
X86 microcode: microcode logic update

Update microcode logic:
1. separate microcode_fini_cpu() into 2 level to avoid deadlock (when fail at 
microcode_update_cpu);
2. cancel redundant collect_cpu_info at microcode.c level, use relative 
function at microcode driver level;
3. separate microcode_resume_cpu from microcode_update_cpu, because it's 
redundant (should only be called when S3 wakeup) and will block newer microcode 
update when user update newer microcode.dat from user level;
