[PATCH v4 0/9] x86/microcode: Refactor NMI-based rendezvous mechanism to stop-machine

["Chang S. Bae" <chang.seok.bae@intel.com>]

Hi all,

This revision has a couple of minor changes on top of 7.4-rc1:

 * Remove the fallback prototype (patch3)
 * Add a comment at the stop-machine's NMI handler call site (patch5)

V3 previously included several changes addressing Sashiko's feedback. For
the background and overall design, please refer to the more detailed V2
cover [*].

I'll first wait to see whether there is any further feedback from
Sashiko. Otherwise, I think this series is getting close to being ready.

The series is also available in this repository:
 git://github.com/intel-staging/microcode.git nmi-stop-machine_v4

Thanks,
Chang
