Nope. The only cases we have microcode like that in the kernel is downloaded
firmware for devices. The same stuff you'd have been finding in the boot
rom instead 12 months ago before the price squeezes reached ripped out any

that either, but since he currently runs an OS loaded by and using a binary
only BIOS I don't have any direct sympathies right now
