No. On AMD side, osvw_status records the hardware erratum in the system.
As we don't assume all CPUs have the same erratum, each cpu calls
end_update to update osvw_status after ucode loading.
start_update just resets osvw_status to 0. And it is called once prior
to ucode loading on any CPU so that osvw_status can be recomputed.
Thanks
Chao
