[coreboot] Lenovo G505s AMD Hardware Virtualization

[Ivan Ivanov]

awokd, could you please answer some questions:

1) From where you got that 0x06001119 microcode patch?
Is it a trusted source of a microcode? (hope its directly from AMD)

2) Is there any way to determine that 0x06001119 is really the latest microcode?
Or there could be more recent versions available?

Best regards,
Ivan Ivanov
