Fix register corruption during Intel Microcode update
Another bug in the Intel microcode update code that existed since we switched
to LinuxBIOSv2 in 2004:
The inline assembly code that reads the CPU revision from an MSR after running
cpuid(1) trashes registers EBX and ECX. Only ECX was mentioned in the clobber
list. C code running after this function could silently access completely wrong
data, which resulted in the wrong date being printed on microcode updates (and
potentially other issues happening until the C code writes to EBX again)
