Subject: [PATCH 3.16 003/410] x86, microcode: Fix accessing dis_ucode_ldr
 on 32-bit

3.16.57-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

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

commit 85be07c32496dc264661308e4d9d4e9ccaff8072 upstream.

We should be accessing it through a pointer, like on the BSP.

Tested-by: Richard Hendershot <rshendershot@...si.com>
