For each CPU vendor that implements CPU microcode patching, there will be a minimum family for which this is implemented. Verify this minimum level of support. This can be done in the dispatch function or early in the application functions. Doing the latter turned out to be somewhat awkward because of the ineviable split between the BSP and the AP paths, and rather than pushing deep into the application functions, do this in the dispatch function.
