I have another fix for 'microcode' (one place may race vs.
sched_setaffinity()) and a few ideas/improvements to try. I would also
do this 'move-cpu-hotplug-activities-to-early-init' thing (but
perhaps, not earlier than on Saturday-Sunday) if Peter doesn't come up
with a patch by this time.

btw., is tip/x86/microcode a .27 material? I mean, if I do some work,
should I do it on top of the current linus-git or -tip (or both)?
