Subject: [PATCH 1/3] x86/MCE: Save microcode revision in machine check records

From: Tony Luck <tony.luck@...el.com>

Updating microcode used to be relatively rare. Now that it has become
more common we should save the microcode version in a machine check
record to make sure that those people looking at the error have this
important information bundled with the rest of the logged information.
