    Skylake: Fix microcode reload in bootblock cpu init
    
    If Skylake microcode is being loaded from FIT, Skylake supports
    the PRMRR/SGX feature. If this is supported the FIT microcode
    load will set the msr (0x08b) with the patch ID one less than the
    ID in the microcode binary. This results in microcode getting
    reloaded again in the bootblock cpu init.
    Avoid the microcode reload by checking for PRMRR support.
    
    BUG=chrome-os-partner:42046
    BRANCH=None
    TEST=Built for glados and tested on RVP3
