3.16.62-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Andi Kleen <ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 1ab534e85c93945f7862378d8c8adcf408205b19 upstream.
The check for Spectre microcodes does not check for family 6, only the
model numbers.
Add a family 6 check to avoid ambiguity with other families.
Fixes: a5b296636453 ("x86/cpufeature: Blacklist SPEC_CTRL/PRED_CMD on early Spectre v2 microcodes")
