+Subject: [PATCH 12/56] x86/ucode: Distinguish "ucode already up to date"
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+Right now, Xen returns -ENOENT for both "the provided blob isn't correct for
+this CPU", and "the blob isn't newer than what's loaded".
+
+This in turn causes xen-ucode to exit with an error, when "nothing to do" is
+more commonly a success condition.
+
+Handle EEXIST specially and exit cleanly.
+
