[PATCH 8/8] x86, microcode, intel: defend apply_microcode_intel with BUG_ON

From: Henrique de Moraes Holschuh
Date: Mon Sep 08 2014 - 13:48:55 EST


Microcode updates that requires an unknown loader should never reach the
apply_* functions (the code should have rejected it earlier). Likewise
for an unknown microcode header layout.
