Check final patch levels for AMD only on the BSP. This way, we decide
early and only once whether to continue loading or to leave the loader
disabled on such systems.

Simplify a lot.

Merge the early loader functionality into the driver proper. The
diff is huge but logically, it is simply moving code from the
_early.c files into the main driver.

<title>x86/microcode/amd: Do not overwrite final patch levels</title>

<content type='text'>
A certain number of patch levels of applied microcode should not
be overwritten by the microcode loader, otherwise bad things
will happen.

Check those and abort update if the current core has one of
those final patch levels applied by the BIOS. 32-bit needs
special handling, of course.

See https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=913996 for more
info.

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:

 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.

<title>x86/microcode: Parse built-in microcode early</title>

Apparently, people do build microcode into the kernel image, i.e.
CONFIG_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL=y.

Make that work in the early loader which is where microcode should be
preferably loaded anyway.

Note that you need to specify the microcode filename with the path
relative to the toplevel firmware directory (the same like the late
loading method) in CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE=y so that early loader can
find it.

I.e., something like this (Intel variant):

  CONFIG_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL=y
  CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE="intel-ucode/06-3a-09"
  CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR="/lib/firmware/"

While at it, add me to the loader copyright boilerplate.

Apparently, people do build microcode into the kernel image, i.e.
CONFIG_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL=y.

Make that work in the early loader which is where microcode should be
preferably loaded anyway.

Note that you need to specify the microcode filename with the path
relative to the toplevel firmware directory (the same like the late
loading method) in CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE=y so that early loader can
find it.

I.e., something like this (Intel variant):

  CONFIG_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL=y
  CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE="intel-ucode/06-3a-09"
  CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR="/lib/firmware/"

While at it, add me to the loader copyright boilerplate.

Normally, we do reapply microcode on resume. However, in the cases where
that microcode comes from the early loader and the late loader hasn't
been utilized yet, there's no easy way for us to go and apply the patch
applied during boot by the early loader.

Thus, reuse the patch stashed by the early loader for the BSP.
