As usual, I find out the damn thing is _really_ important well after the
fact...
The microcode update is reported to fix hangs and memory corruption of guest
VMs on the Xeon E5v2 and E7v2 processors. Likely this is errata CA135 (from
the Xeon e5-v2 specification update).
Anyway, with this stable update we have covered almost everything. I will
send a package update also towards Squeeze LTS, given the above.
