Subject: [PATCH 05/17] x86/microcode: Issue update message only once

From: Borislav Petkov <bp@...e.de>

This is especially annoying on large boxes:

  x86: Booting SMP configuration:
  .... node  #0, CPUs:          #1
  microcode: CPU1 microcode updated early to revision 0x428, date = 2014-05-29
     #2
  microcode: CPU2 microcode updated early to revision 0x428, date = 2014-05-29
     #3
  ...

so issue the update message only once.

$ grep microcode /proc/cpuinfo

shows whether every core got updated properly.
