This was used in https://reviews.freebsd.org/D56332, which was aimed at detecting a cpu bug and disable rdseed feature before the new version microcode fix. But since that revision is removed, it might not be useful now. But also since it is not uncommon to cpu vendor to have some fixes in their new microcode, this matching code here might still be useful in the future.
