is it safe to assume that code in Ring 1 can't upgrade microcode :-)?
I'd say that the microcode module would surprise me if it worked.

It should be possible to make it work by using the hypervisor interface
equivalents of rdmsr/wrmsr. See section 9.11 of the IA32 architecture
manual Volume 3.

Does DOM0 always run on all physical CPU cores?
