[PATCH v2] KVM: X86: Allow userspace to define the microcode version

[Wanpeng Li]

From: Wanpeng Li <wanpengli@xxxxxxxxxxx>

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.
