Subject: [PATCH v0 09/12] x86, microcode: Add a refresh firmware flag to ->request_microcode_fw

From: Borislav Petkov <borislav.petkov@....com>

This is done in preparation for teaching the ucode driver to either load
a new ucode patches container from userspace or use an already cached
version. No functionality change in this patch.
