Subject: [patch 23/30] x86/microcode: Provide new control functions

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@...utronix.de>

The current all in one code is unreadable and really not suited for adding
future features like uniform loading with package or system scope.

Provide a set of new control functions which split the handling of the
primary and secondary CPUs. These will replace the current rendevouz all in
one function in the next step. This is intentionally a separate change
because diff makes an complete unreadable mess otherwise.

So the flow separates the primary and the secondary CPUs into their own
functions, which use the control field in the per CPU ucode_ctrl struct.

   primary()			secondary()
    wait_for_all()		 wait_for_all()
    apply_ucode()		 wait_for_release()
    release()			 apply_ucode()
