If IA32_MSR_MCU_CONTROL exists then it's possible a CPU may be unable to
perform microcode updates. This is controlled through the DIS_MCU_LOAD bit
and is intended for baremetal clouds where the owner may not trust the
tenant to choose the microcode version in use. If we notice that bit being
set then simply disable the "apply_microcode" handler so we can't even try
to perform update (as it's known to be silently dropped).

v3:
  * Removed microcode_update_one() hunk (Jan, from v2/patch4)
  * Read MSR_ARCH_CAPS in early_cpu_init(), missing in v2/patch4 (Andy)
  * Moved the MSR_ARCH_CAPS after-update read (it's on v3/p3 now)
  * Logic previouslyin this_cpu_can_install_update() is now integrated in
    intel_get_ucode_ops() (Jan, from v2/p4)

Is this still going to be needed if early_microcode_init() uniformly
does this, for things to be correct for tsx_init() (as pointed out
in the other patch)?

While this won't address Andrew's request (afaict), but only the
cf_clobber requirement, I think you want to drop removing of the struct
instances from patch 2, return pointers from the new per-vendor
functions, and simply introduce another static instance of struct
microcode_ops here, with the one hook simply left unset. This lives in
init data, so the size increase is of no major concern.

Yes. This is needed so MSR_ARCH_CAPS are available in order to check
DIS_MCU_LOAD before the microcode update itself. early_cpu_init() does the
read before the microcode update, while early_microcode_init() refreshes
the fields that might have been modified after the update AND are needed
before the general CPU detection logic.

As mentioned in other email. This is my bad for not having understood the
ultimate readon for cf_clobber. I'll just leave the structs as is.
