Andrew Cooper dd5f07997f x86/ucode: Rationalise startup and family/model checks
Drop microcode_init_{intel,amd}(), export {intel,amd}_ucode_ops, and use a
switch statement in early_microcode_init() rather than probing each vendor in
turn.  This allows the microcode_ops pointer to become local to core.c.

As there are no external users of microcode_ops, there is no need for
collect_cpu_info() to implement sanity checks.  Move applicable checks to
early_microcode_init() so they are performed once, rather than repeatedly.

The Intel logic guarding the read of MSR_PLATFORM_ID is contrary to the SDM,
which states that the MSR has been architectural since the Pentium Pro
(06-01-xx), and lists no family/model restrictions in the pseudo-code for
microcode loading.  Either way, Xen's 64bit-only nature already makes this
check redundant.
