Subject: [PATCH 5/6] x86/microcode/amd: Extract current patch level read to a function

From: Borislav Petkov <bp@...e.de>

Pave the way for checking the current patch level of the microcode in a
core. We want to be able to do stuff depending on the patch level - in
this case decide whether to update or not. But that will be added in a
later patch.

Drop unused local var uci assignment, while at it.

Integrate a fix for 32-bit and CONFIG_PARAVIRT from Takashi Iwai
<tiwai@...e.com>:

Use native_rdmsr() in check_current_patch_level() because with
CONFIG_PARAVIRT enabled and on 32-bit, where we run before paging has
been enabled, we cannot deref pv_info yet. Or we could, but we'd need
to access its physical address. This way of fixing it is simpler. See
https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=943179 for the background.
