Some Intel Skylake CPU models (SKL-H/S/Xeon E3 v5, family 6, model 94,
stepping 3) had reports of possible system hangs when revision 0xdc
of microcode, that is included in microcode-20200609 update to address
CVE-2020-0543, CVE-2020-0548, and CVE-2020-0549, was applied[1].  In order
to address this, microcode updates to the newer revision had been disabled
by default on these systems, and the previously published microcode revision
0xd6 was used by default for the OS-driven microcode update.  The revision
0xea seems[2] to have fixed the aforementioned issue, hence it is enabled
by default (but can be disabled explicitly; see below).

The information regarding disabling microcode update is provided below.

To prevent usage of the latest 06-5e-03 microcode revision for a specific kernel
version, please create a file "disallow-intel-06-5e-03" inside
/lib/firmware/<kernel_version> directory, run
"/usr/libexec/microcode_ctl/update_ucode" to remove it to firmware directory
where microcode is available for late microcode update, and run
"dracut -f --kver <kernel_version>", so initramfs for this kernel version
is regenerated, for example:

    touch /lib/firmware/3.10.0-862.9.1/disallow-intel-06-5e-03
    /usr/libexec/microcode_ctl/update_ucode
    dracut -f --kver 3.10.0-862.9.1

To avoid  addition of the latest microcode for all kernels, please create file
"/etc/microcode_ctl/ucode_with_caveats/disallow-intel-06-5e-03", run
"/usr/libexec/microcode_ctl/update_ucode" for late microcode updates,
and "dracut -f --regenerate-all" for early microcode updates:

    mkdir -p /etc/microcode_ctl/ucode_with_caveats
    touch /etc/microcode_ctl/ucode_with_caveats/disallow-intel-06-5e-03
    /usr/libexec/microcode_ctl/update_ucode
    dracut -f --regenerate-all

Please refer to /usr/share/doc/microcode_ctl/README.caveats for additional
information.
