x86, microcode, AMD: Rewrite patch application procedure
Limit the access to userspace only on the BSP where we load the container, verify the patches in it and put them in the patch cache. Then, at application time, we lookup the correct patch in the cache and use it. When we need to reload the userspace container, we do that over the reload interface: echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/microcode/reload which reloads (a possibly newer) container from userspace and applies then the newest patches from there.
