Yap, the "updated early" line says your microcode got updated to rev
0x20 from what was there before.

Which is as it should be.

Yeah, we should tie this to CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_MEMORY. IOW, here's another
version, I'll do some more hammering on it tomorrow.
It should take care of the builtin case too as there we have the
microcode in the kernel text mapping which is already relocated when we
go search for microcode blobs so no need for adjusting start then.
