    x86/ucode: Cross check the minimum revision
    
    For Zen3-5 microcode blobs signed with the updated signature scheme, the
    checksum field has been reused to be a min_revision field, referring to the
    microcode revision which fixed Entrysign (SB-7033, CVE-2024-36347).
    
    Cross-check this when trying to load microcode, but allow --force to 
override
    it.  If the signature scheme is genuinely different, a #GP will occur.
