Subject: [RFC PATCH 0/3] x86/microcode: Drop old interface and default-disable late loading

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

Totally untested, just sending out as a RFC first. This is something
Peter and I talked about recently and think it makes sense.

Borislav Petkov (3):
  x86/microcode: Rip out the OLD_INTERFACE
  x86/microcode: Default-disable late loading
  x86/microcode: Taint and warn on late loading
