Ok, I ran the pile on a box here:

vendor_id       : GenuineIntel
cpu family      : 6
model           : 158
model name      : Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-9600K CPU @ 3.70GHz
stepping        : 12

There is some microcode for it:

[    0.000000] microcode: microcode updated early to revision 0xc6, date = 2019-08-14
[    1.005808] microcode: sig=0x906ec, pf=0x2, revision=0xc6

And booting it says:

[    0.197056] tsx_init: enter
[    0.197207] tsx_ctrl_is_supported: CAP MSR: 0x9

This is added by me and it shows that the box is a pre MDS_NO=1 one,
i.e., MD_CLEAR mitigates TAA too AFAIU.

Which means, there's no TSX_CTRL_MSR and I cannot disable TSX there.

Which means, boxes like this one don't need the microcode as long as
they have MD_CLEAR microcode.

[    0.197363] Spectre V1 : Mitigation: usercopy/swapgs barriers and __user pointer sanitization
[    0.197540] Spectre V2 : Mitigation: Full generic retpoline
[    0.197696] Spectre V2 : Spectre v2 / SpectreRSB mitigation: Filling RSB on context switch
[    0.197871] Spectre V2 : Enabling Restricted Speculation for firmware calls
[    0.198032] Spectre V2 : mitigation: Enabling conditional Indirect Branch Prediction Barrier
[    0.198208] Speculative Store Bypass: Mitigation: Speculative Store Bypass disabled via prctl and seccomp
[    0.198386] MDS: Mitigation: Clear CPU buffers
[    0.198540] TAA: Mitigation: Clear CPU buffers

Makes sense?

In any case, I thought I should share some first testing attempts with
the group.

Thx.
