I think this approach is good to get the microcode applied as

the new microcode anyway. So for applying the microcode update
at runtime I would like to keep the existing API.

No, you don't want to keep the existing API and you know it. I've
explained to you last week why.


By "existing API" I mean the xen hypercall. Sorry for the confusion.
