From: Wanpeng Li <wanpengli@tencent.com>

Linux (among the others) has checks to make sure that certain features 
aren't enabled on a certain family/model/stepping if the microcode version 
isn't greater than or equal to a known good version.

By exposing the real microcode version, we're preventing buggy guests that
don't check that they are running virtualized (i.e., they should trust the
hypervisor) from disabling features that are effectively not buggy.

v3 -> v4:
 * add the shifts back
v2 -> v3:
 * remove the shifts
 * add the MSR_IA32_UCODE_REV version to the "feature MSRs"
v1 -> v2:
 * add MSR_IA32_UCODE_REV to emulated_msrs
