Please unblock package amd64-microcode
AMD released a new microcode update, which fixes critical errata. I am
unable to determine how probable it is for one to hit these errata, but at
least one of them might cause a processor hang when one is using certain
common "perf" event counters.
Other than the new microcode files, only trivial changes were made (VCs
fields added, and a slighy change on the README file).
