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.
