    x86/ucode/intel: Writeback and invalidate caches before updating microcode
    
    Updating microcode is less error prone when caches have been flushed and
    depending on what exactly the microcode is updating. For example, some of 
the
    issues around certain Broadwell parts can be addressed by doing a full cache
    flush.
