SubjectRe: [PATCH] x86/MCE: Get microcode revision from cpu_info instead of boot_cpu_data

Well, for starters, boot_cpu_data having stale revision is a bug in
itself already. So fixing that is already the Right Thing(tm) to do.

Then, one fine day when the whole cpu_data mess is cleaned up,
boot_cpu_data will morph into the global descriptor representing CPU
features and keeping it uptodate now will facilitate the replacement
without introducing bugs.
