You might think that looks a whole lot like the enumeration in v2, and
you'd be right :) . I sent this ahead of time and that's incorrect. The
actual summary is:

  * Lots of hunks moved around. Individually mentioned in each patch
  * MSR_ARCH_CAPS read in early_cpu_init()
  * Per-vendor functions used to encapsulate vendor-specific logic in
    early_microcode_init()
  * Inlined previous helper for realoading 7d0

It addresses most concerns raised, but the final look is a bit different
from what was reviewed before. I think it's a lot cleaner and allows future
per-vendor logic to be neatly integrated into their per-vendor files.
