Ok, I ran this in a guest and it finds the microcode patches properly.

My .config has:

CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_ELF_RANDOMIZE=y
CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE=y
CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_MEMORY=y
CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_MEMORY_PHYSICAL_PADDING=0x0

When you run this, please check whether it really applies the microcode
on every core.

Thanks.

Without the above, I get:
