Microcode also added functionality to re-enable TSX for development purposes. With this microcode loaded, if tsx=on was passed on the cmdline, and TSX development mode was already enabled before the kernel boot, it may make the system vulnerable to TSX Asynchronous Abort (TAA). To be on safer side, unconditionally disable TSX development mode during boot. If a viable use case appears, this can be revisited later.
