Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] x86/cpufeature: Add facility to match microcode revisions

From: Andi Kleen <ak@...ux.intel.com>

For bug workarounds or checks it is useful to check for specific
microcode versions. Add a new table format to check for steppings
with min microcode revisions.

This does not change the existing x86_cpu_id because it's an ABI
shared with modutils, and also has quite difference requirements,
as in no wildcards, but everything has to be matched exactly.

v2:
Remove all CPU match, only check boot cpu
Move INTEL_MIN_UCODE macro to header.
Minor cleanups.
Remove max ucode and driver data
