[PATCH 0/3] Xen Microcode update driver for 2.6.38

[Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@goop.org>]

From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy.fitzhardinge@citrix.com>

Hi all,

This series adds a new microcode driver for Xen.  The Xen hypervisor
can deal with all the low-level details of doing a microcode update
(Intel vs AMD, doing all the physical CPUs present on the system,
current and future, etc), so all the driver has to do is make a
hypercall to upload the microcode into Xen.

This only works on a privileged domain, of course.  But the Xen driver
also detects any time we're running paravirtualized under Xen to
prevent any attempts at a microcode update from a non-privileged
domain as well.

Thanks,
	J
