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.

Pull x86 init code fixlet from Ingo Molnar:
"A single change: fix obsolete init code annotations"
* 'x86-cleanups-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
x86: Drop bogus __ref / __refdata annotations
Its return value is not used by the subsys core and nothing meaningful
can be done with it, even if we want to use it. The subsys device is
anyway getting removed.
Update prototype of ->remove_dev() to make its return type as void. Fix
all usage sites as well.

Andy Shevchenko reported machine freezes when booting latest tip
on 32-bit setups. Problem is, the builtin microcode handling cannot
really work that early, when we haven't even enabled paging.
A proper fix would involve handling that case specially as every
other early 32-bit boot case in the microcode loader and would
require much more involved changes for which it is too late now,
more than a week before the upcoming merge window.
So, disable the builtin microcode loading on 32-bit for now.

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.

It is a one-liner for checking microcode header revisions. On top of
that, it can be used wrong as it was the case in _save_mc(). Get rid of
it.

because we're using smp_processor_id() in preemtible context. And we
don't really need to use it there because the microcode container we're
dumping is global and CPU-specific info is irrelevant.
While at it, make pr_* stuff use "microcode: " prefix for easier
grepping and document how to enable the DEBUG build.
