** Description changed:

- [execution in the early microcode loader]
+ [execution in the early microcode loader x86/intel] Guard against stack
+ overflow in the loader mc_saved_tmp is a static array allocated on the
+ stack, we need to make sure mc_saved_count stays within its bounds,
+ otherwise we're overflowing the stack in _save_mc(). A specially crafted
+ microcode header could lead to a kernel crash or potentially kernel
+ execution.
