And then, we can go a step further and even do a separate helper which does the
required steps to read out the microcode revision so that we don't forget them
next time we change the code.
Provided that works for xen, though, because I need to do the native
variants but early_init_intel() can call the paravirt *msr() versions
and I have no idea whether that's kosher on xen pv.
Boris, any objections?

Subject: [PATCH] x86/microcode/intel: Add a helper which gives the microcode
revision
Since on Intel we're required to do CPUID(1) first, before reading
the microcode revision MSR, let's add a special helper which does the
required steps so that we don't forget to do them next time, when we
want to read the microcode revision.
