Aaron Durbin 98ffb426f4 intel microcode: split up microcode loading stages
This patch only applies to CONFIG_MICROCODE_IN_CBFS. The intel microcode
update routine would always walk the CBFS for the microcode file. Then
it would loop through the whole file looking for a match then load the
microcode. This process was maintained for intel_update_microcode_from_cbfs(),
however 2 new functions were exported:
	1.  const void *intel_microcode_find(void)
	2.  void intel_microcode_load_unlocked(const void *microcode_patch)

The first locates a matching microcode while the second loads that
mircocode. These new functions can then be used to cache the found
microcode blob w/o having to re-walk the CBFS.

Booted baskingridge board to Linux and noted that all microcode
revisions match on all the CPUs.
