This is caused by this commit from mainline:
linux-aws: 9f182bd x86/microcode/intel: Extend BDW late-loading further with LLC size check mainline: 7e702d1 x86/microcode/intel: Extend BDW late-loading further with LLC size check
which adds a check which involves this computation: + do_div(llc_size, c->x86_max_cores);
But dmesg on a c3.large instance yields this interesting line: [ 0.156084] smpboot: x86_max_cores == zero !?!?
