More specifically, the VMSA register dumps contain a field that
encodes the family+model+stepping. So given a generic machine
portable VMSA blob, we need to be able to update it with the
family+model+stepping of the specific host executing a VM to
get a machine specific VMSA blob. This is then used in the
launjch measurement validation.
