The remote OracleVM system is missing necessary patches to address critical security updates :

  - recognize the 'force-intel' file path available on EL7+     [orabug 31655792]

  - disable live load during %post due to UEK4 rendezvous     timeouts [orabug 31655792]

  - merge Oracle changes for early load via dracut

  - remove no longer appropriate caveats for 06-2d-07 and     06-55-04

  - remove other caveat support to be compatible with early     load logic

  - enable late load on install for UEK4 kernels marked safe     (except BDW-79)

  - set early_microcode='no' in virtualized guests to avoid     early load bugs [Orabug: 30618737]

  - Update Intel CPU microcode to microcode-20201027     release, addresses CVE-2020-8694, CVE-2020-8695,     CVE-2020-8696, (CVE-2020-8698) (#1893243, #1893238) :
