Title:
  Only one CPU core gets microcode updated

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  dmesg | grep -i microcode
  [    0.000000] CPU0 microcode updated early to revision 0xa0b, date = 2010-09-28
  [    0.718229] microcode: CPU0 sig=0x1067a, pf=0x40, revision=0xa0b
  [    0.718248] microcode: CPU1 sig=0x1067a, pf=0x40, revision=0xa07
  [    0.718266] microcode: CPU2 sig=0x1067a, pf=0x40, revision=0xa07
  [    0.718280] microcode: CPU3 sig=0x1067a, pf=0x40, revision=0xa07

  [    0.718308] microcode: CPU6 sig=0x1067a, pf=0x40, revision=0xa07
  [    0.718339] microcode: CPU7 sig=0x1067a, pf=0x40, revision=0xa07
  [    0.718441] microcode: Microcode Update Driver: v2.00 <tigran@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>, Peter Oruba

  This is weird. All CPU cores showing same sig, but only one core's
  microcode updated?

  The machine has two physical CPUs, both are L5420, thus totally 8 CPU cores.
