It works fine and makes no harm to the existing code.

One thing I don't see in this series is anything about microcode

Right now Hygon load microcode in BIOS.

loading.  Presumably you'll follow the AMD patchloading mechanism, with
a blob you provide yourself?

We are exploring the Hygon patchloading mechanism, which will employ most of the functions of AMD's. We also try to make the Hygon microcode blob be compatible with the AMD one.

When the Hygon patchloading mechanism is practicable and it's necessary to load the Hygon microcode outside of BIOS, we'll send the patchloading patches to Xen and Linux mailing lists.

Thx.
