Thanks, but I was able to reproduce in a VM.

Here's a fix which works here - I'd appreciate it if you ran it and
checked the microcode was applied correctly, i.e.:

$ dmesg | grep -i microcode

before and after the patch. Please paste that output in a mail too.

Thanks!

Subject: [PATCH] x86/microcode/AMD: Fix more fallout from CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_MEMORY

We needed the physical address of the container in order to compute the
offset within the relocated ramdisk. And we did this by doing __pa() on
the virtual address.

However, __pa() does checks whether the physical address is within
PAGE_OFFSET and __START_KERNEL_map - see __phys_addr() - which fail
if we have CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_MEMORY enabled: we feed a virtual address
which *doesn't* have the randomization offset into a function which uses
PAGE_OFFSET which *does* have that offset.

This makes this check fire:

	VIRTUAL_BUG_ON((x > y) || !phys_addr_valid(x));
			^^^^^^

due to the randomization offset.

The fix is as simple as using __pa_nodebug() because we do that
randomization offset accounting later in that function ourselves.
