Prior commit hash 0310d34c2 (cpu/intel/microcode: Have provision to
re-load microcode patch) introduces an option to reload the microcode
based on SoC selecting RELOAD_MICROCODE_PATCH config.
This patch might potentially introduce a boot time regression (~30ms)
when RELOAD_MICROCODE_PATCH kconfig is enabled as all cores might end up
reloading the microcode without the proper need.
Note: RELOAD_MICROCODE_PATCH kconfig is not yet selected by any SoC
hence, it doesn't impact any coreboot project.
The idea is reloading microcode depends on specific use case
(for example: Skip FSP doing MP Init from Alder Lake onwards) hence,
a follow up patch will create a newer API to allow reloading of
microcode when RELOAD_MICROCODE_PATCH config is enabled.
