linux-kernel - Re: [PATCH 2/2] Fixed broken microcode early loading on 32 bit platforms because it always jumps past cpuid in sync_core() as data structure boot_cpu_data are not populated so early in boot. This is for 4.4. Should be done for 4.9 too

This is not the correct way to submit patches for inclusion in the
stable kernel tree.  Please read:
    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/stable-kernel-rules.html
