    x86/msr: Fix handling of MSR_AMD_PATCHLEVEL/MSR_IA32_UCODE_REV
    
    There are a number of bugs.  There are no read/write hooks on the HVM side, 
so
    guest accesses fall into the "read/write-discard" defaults, which bypass the
    correct faulting behaviour and the Intel special case.
    
    For the PV side, writes are discarded (again, bypassing proper faulting),
    except for a pinned dom0, which is permitted to actually write the values
    other than 0.  This is pointless with read hook implementing the Intel 
special
    case.
    
    However, implementing the Intel special case is itself pointless.  First of
    all, OS software can't guarentee to read back 0 in the first place, because 
a)
    this behaviour isn't guarenteed in the SDM, and b) there are SMM handlers
    which use the CPUID instruction.  Secondly, when a guest executes CPUID, 
this
    doesn't typically result in Xen executing a CPUID instruction in practice.
    
    With the dom0 special case removed, there are now no writes to this MSR 
other
    than Xen's microcode loading facilities, which means that the value held in
    the MSR will be properly up-to-date.  Forward it directly, without jumping
    through any hoops.
