Cover letter [PATCH -v1 0/2] x86/microcode: Add debugging glue
From: "Borislav Petkov (AMD)" <[email protected]>
Hi,
ok, here's v1 with all review feedback incorporated.
I haven't added tags from previous review because they were to a conglomerate diff and not to an actual patch.
Btw, the thing helped me already debug one small issue. So already bearing fruits. :-)
Thx.

this is something I've been meaning to do for a long time: each time when doing despicable things to the loader, I get to add debugging code too and run it in a VM to see how those despicable things fare. But then I remove the debugging glue again when cleaning up the despicable things and turning them into proper patches.
So make this debugging code permanent but keep it out of reach from production use and have it build- and boot-disabled by default.
