x86/microcode/amd: Extract current patch level read to a function
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.
