Ashok Raj 91df9fdf51 x86/microcode/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.

[ Borislav: Massage it and use native_wbinvd() in both cases. ]

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
