Mike,
Parameter - PeiCpuMpData is added for MicrocodeDetect() in this patch.
PeiCpuMpData->MpLock is used to avoid debug message corruption when Aps output
debug message in parallel mode.
I don't understand why the patch showed in your mail has not the following part
of patch. It's maybe the reason of your concern.

signature not matched
Just curious why locking is required here?
Looks like some operator missed.
