    x86/ucode: Relax digest check when Entrysign is fixed in firmware
    
    When Entrysign has been mitigated in firwmare, it is believed to be safe to
    rely on the CPU patchloader again.  This avoids us needing to maintain the
    digest table for all new microcode indefinitely.
    
    Relax the digest check when firmware looks to be up to date, and leave 
behind
    a clear message when not.
    
    When the Zen6 (also Fam1ah processors) model numbers are known, they'll want
    excluding from the range.
    
    This is best-effort only.  If a malicious microcode has been loaded prior to
    Xen running, then all bets are off.
