Hmm, seems like a pretty standard cpu and updated microcode fw, no? But
if it's just me, we can just defer until it gets fixed, at least for
some more rcs. I just pruned the microcode for now to work around it, as
it's pretty annoying to forget about doing the reverts and then booting
a broken kernel. The box takes minutes to post+boot.
