| |
The changes in 871b72dd "x86: microcode: use smp_call_function_single instead of set_cpus_allowed, cleanup of synchronization logic" introduced a check that prevents built-in microcode from being loaded before init starts.
Conditionalise it on early microcode loading, so we get the expected behaviour when early microcode loading is enabled, and when it is not. This has potential importance as BIOSes often don't load the current microcode.
