[PATCH 2/2] KVM: x86: Allow userspace to define what's the microcode version

[Filippo Sironi <sironi@amazon.de>]

... that the guest should see.
Guest operating systems may check the microcode version to decide whether
to disable certain features that are known to be buggy up to certain
microcode versions.  Address the issue by making the microcode version
that the guest should see settable.
The rationale for having userspace specifying the microcode version, rather
than having the kernel picking it, is to ensure consistency for live-migrated
instances; we don't want them to see a microcode version increase without a
reset.
