Spectre Meltdown Checker

Description of problem:

Continuation from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1501362

On latest Fedora Atomic Workstation, initramfs regeneration enabled, microcode_ctl installed, rpm-ostree upgrade all applied and rebooted, dracut -fv applied the microcode just gets never upgraded.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
microcode_ctl-2.1-23

How reproducible:

I suspect it's not just bound to the Atomic Workstation but the regular one as well, however I'll list the steps I did

Steps to Reproduce:
1. rpm-ostree install microcode_ctl
2. rpm-ostree upgrade
3. systemctl reboot
4. dracut -fv
5. systemctl reboot
6. cat /proc/cpuinfo

= Microcode not updated (in my case 0x33).

7. rpm-ostree initramfs --enable
8. dracut -fv
9. systemctl reboot
10. cat /proc/cpuinfo 

= Microcode not updated, vulnerable to spectre/meltdown.

Actual results:

Microcode as supplied by BIOS-Vendor (sadly no BIOS-Update existing)

Expected results:

Correctly updated Microcode
