[PATCH 5/5] x86/ucode: Relax digest check when Entrysign is fixed in firmware



When Entrysign has been mitigated in firwmare, it is believed to be safe to
pass blobs to the CPU again.  This avoids us needing to update the digest
table for new microcodes.

Relax the digest check when firmware looks to be up to date, and leave behind
a clear message when not.

This is best-effort only.  If a malicious microcode has been loaded prior to
Xen running, then all bets are off.

I need to double check the revision table.  I think I need to submit a
correction to Linux first.
