Use below three rules to optimize load uCode performance:
1. Let BSP relocate uCode from flash to memory for better performance.
2. BSP caches the CPU ID and address of uCode so AP doesn’t need to look 
   for the uCode again if the CPU ID is same as BSP’s.
3. Only apply uCode in one thread of a core when hyper threading is enabled.

v2 changes:
  Fix potential issue if allocate memory failed.

V3 Changes:
  Remove the ASSERT code which is not correct.

Test:
Use an sample platform which has 1 socket, 4 core, 8 threads, the 
CpuMpPei driver cost time reduce from 108.4ms to 27.2ms


Eric Dong (3):
  UefiCpuPkg/MpInitLib: Use BSP uCode for APs if possible.
  UefiCpuPkg/MpInitLib: Load uCode once for each core.
  UefiCpuPkg/MpInitLib: Relocate uCode to memory to save time.

Read uCode from memory has better performance than from flash.
But it needs extra effort to let BSP copy uCode from flash to
memory. Also BSP already enable cache in SEC phase, so it use
less time to relocate uCode from flash to memory. After
verification, if system has more than one processor, it will
reduce some time if load uCode from memory.

This change enable this optimization.

V3 changes:
  Remove the ASSERT which is not correct.

Search uCode costs much time, if AP has same processor type
with BSP, AP can use BSP saved uCode info to get better performance.

This change enables this solution.

Based on the above, my understanding is that you didn't modify patches
#2 and #3, from v2 to v3. Is that correct?

If it's correct, then you should have picked up my Acked-by tags from
the v2 review, for the v3 posting:

http://mid.mail-archive.com/dcf4df85-1d35-65e9-2c9b-d5d47a0988aa@redhat.com

http://mid.mail-archive.com/dbc8439f-448e-306c-cdbd-1b2edc1f4aef@redhat.com

If you don't pick up my previous review tags for un-modified patches in
new postings of the patch series, then I have to re-review those patches
every single time. I described this workflow element here:

https://github.com/tianocore/tianocore.github.io/wiki/Laszlo's-unkempt-git-guide-for-edk2-contributors-and-maintainers#contrib-26

----------
    26. § More frequently though, you will get requests for changes for
        *some* of your patches, while *others* of your patches will be
        fine, and garner Reviewed-by, Acked-by, and Tested-by tags. What
        you need to do in this case is:

        * create the next version of your local branch
        * pick up the tags that you got on the list
        * implement the requested changes
        * mark the v2 changes on each patch outside of the commit
          message
        * push the next version to your personal repo again
        * post the next version to the list

        In the following steps, we'll go through each of these in more
        detail.
----------

Thanks
Laszlo
