[PATCH] i386: cleanup serialize msr
i386 arch cleanup. Introduce the serialize macro to serialize processor
state. Why the microcode update needs it I am not quite sure, since wrmsr()
is already a serializing instruction, but it is a microcode update, so I will
keep the semantic the same, since this could be a timing workaround. As far
as I can tell, this has always been there since the original microcode update
source.
