The kernel will issue a CPUID of 0x1 before reading microcode. Align this behavior with the MSR plugin. AMD and Intel align their microcode diffrently in MSR 0x8b. * Intel it's 4 bytes in. * AMD it's at the start of the MSR. |

MSR
Introduction
This plugin checks if the Model-specific registers (MSRs) indicate the Direct Connect Interface (DCI) is enabled.
DCI allows debugging of Intel processors using the USB3 port. DCI should always be disabled and locked on production hardware as it allows the attacker to disable other firmware protection methods.
The result will be stored in a security attribute for HSI.
External Interface Access
This plugin requires read access to /sys/class/msr.
