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.

The __ref / __refdata annotations used to be needed because of
referencing functions / variables annotated __cpuinit /
__cpuinitdata.
But those annotations vanished during the development of v3.11.
Therefore most of the __ref / __refdata annotations are not needed
anymore. As they may hide legitimate sections mismatches, we
better get rid of them.

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.

Commits 65cef1311d ("x86, microcode: Add a disable chicken bit") and
a18a0f6850 ("x86, microcode: Don't initialize microcode code on

loading is not permitted.
However, they don't prevent the driver from being loaded since the
init code returns 0. If at some point later the driver gets unloaded
this will result in an oops while trying to deregister the (never
registered) device.
To avoid this, make init code return an error on paravirt or when
microcode loading is disabled. The driver will then never be loaded.

Paravirtual guests are not expected to load microcode into processors

In fact, under certain circumstances initializing this logic may cause

macro which does not work in Xen (the code path that leads to this macro

->check_loader_disabled_ap())

Konrad triggered the following splat below in a 32-bit guest on an AMD
box. As it turns out, in save_microcode_in_initrd_amd() we're using the
*physical* address of the container *after* we have enabled paging and
thus we #PF in load_microcode_amd() when trying to access the microcode
container in the ramdisk range.
Because the ramdisk is exactly there:
[ 0.000000] RAMDISK: [mem 0x35e04000-0x36ef9fff]
and we fault at 0x35e04304.
And since this guest doesn't relocate the ramdisk, we don't do the
computation which will give us the correct virtual address and we end up
with the PA.
So, we should actually be using virtual addresses on 32-bit too by the
time we're freeing the initrd. Do that then!

Rename apply_microcode() in microcode/intel.c to
apply_microcode_intel(), and declare it as static. This is a cosmetic
fix to silence a warning issued by sparse.

Fix some typos. One of them was in a struct name, fortunately harmless
because it happened on a "sizeof(struct foo*)" construction.

Add a cmdline param which disables the microcode loader. This is useful
mostly in debugging situations where we want to turn off microcode
loading, both early from the initrd and late, as a means to be able to
rule out its influence on the machine.

For additional coverage, BorisO and friends unknowlingly did swap AMD
microcode with Intel microcode blobs in order to see what happens. What
did happen on 32-bit was
[ 5.722656] BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at be3a6008
[ 5.722693] IP: [<c106d6b4>] load_microcode_amd+0x24/0x3f0
[ 5.722716] *pdpt = 0000000000000000 *pde = 0000000000000000
because there was a valid initrd there but without valid microcode in it
and the container check happened *after* the relocated ramdisk handling
on 32-bit, which was clearly wrong.
While at it, take care of the ramdisk relocation on both 32- and 64-bit
as it is done on both. Also, comment what we're doing because this code
is a bit tricky.
