So what does "the non-sensical value which is written by the guest will not reflect to guest-visible microcode revision" even mean then? cat /proc/cpuinfo in the guest shows what exactly?

My argument stands: exposing microcode revisions to guests is the wrong approach. Instead, the kernel should not look at microcode revisions if it runs virtualized. -- Regards/Gruss, Boris.
