[PATCH] i386: Replace broken serialize_cpu in microcode driver with correct sync_core

Browse Source 
Passing random input values in eax to cpuid is not a good idea
because the CPU will GPF for unknown ones.
Use the correct x86-64 version that exists for a longer time too.
This also adds a memory barrier to prevent the optimizer from
reordering.
