SubjectRe: [PATCH 5/8] x86, microcode, intel: don't use fields from unknown format header

Well, this is a pretty weak check but I'm all for being as defensive as
possible with the microcode loader so yes, let's do it.

However, I'd carve it out from microcode_sanity_check() in a separate
function called

static bool microcode_check_header(struct microcode_header_intel *hdr);

and do the ->hdrver and -> ldrver checks in it. In two places to be exact...

... and here. I.e., everytime we're looking at a mc_header from userspace.

This one is then redundant.

Thanks.
