Hi,
I want to get rid of the warning, mainly because I don't know whether it is of importance or not. My concern is that this didn't happen with the 3.2 kernel, so maybe there is a way to avoid installing that non-free package.
Cheers!

I don't understand. You want to load the microcode update, which is
non-free, without installing a non-free package? Or you just want the
warning to go away?
