Re: ANNOUNCEMENT: Intel processor microcode security update

[Nate Bargmann <n0nb@n0nb.us>]

I have an older P4 system with hyperthreading and it seems the updated
microcode was loaded when I installed the package:

Sep  7 08:29:23 kernel: [1268878.007882] platform microcode:
firmware: agent loaded intel-ucode/0f-04-01 into memory
Sep  7 08:29:23 kernel: [1268878.007943] platform microcode:
firmware: agent loaded intel-ucode/0f-04-01 into memory

And then when I restarted the system:

Sep  7 08:33:59 kernel: [    5.775045] microcode: CPU0 sig=0xf41,
pf=0x10, revision=0x17
