Sigh... I take this back. It breaks 32-bit baremetal. I haven't looked any
further but it seems to be dying very early. I suspect cpuid pv_op is not
set up yet. If that's true, perhaps you could check whether it is valid in
x86_guest()?
Right, this is why we're using the native variants in the early loader.
So we need a different method for detecting very early whether we're
running as a guest.

What I'd like more, though, is if we continue debugging the original
issue where we fail in load_ucode_intel_ap(). Does it happen on this line:

initrd_start_addr = (unsigned long)__pa_nodebug(*initrd_start_p);

I don't have access to my test setup right now (and won't be until late today at best) but I am pretty sure this was the line when I was looking at this yesterday.


where we deref the initrd_start_p? Do you have a full splat with a Code:
section?

https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/11/25/973 is all I have right now.
