Right, but the microcode loader is not used at all on PV, right?
If so, I'd like to add a arch_something_blabla_disabled_loader()
function which is run in the loader init path and returns false on
baremetal and a true when running as a xen guest. I'm not sure how the
detection should be done, though... CPUID with the hypervisor leaf?
