4.15-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de>

commit 42ca8082e260dcfd8afa2afa6ec1940b9d41724c upstream.

With some microcode upgrades, new CPUID features can become visible on
the CPU. Check what the kernel has mirrored now and issue a warning
hinting at possible things the user/admin can do to make use of the
newly visible features.
