Initial support landed in r337715.  The devcpu-data port has also been updated to provide Intel microcode updates as a single blob.

I will mark this fixed since I've done all that I'm going to do for 12.0.  We still need to implement support for loading AMD microcode, but there is less demand for this.

Should we clone a related bug (that doesn't block the 12 tracking bug) to cover early loading of AMD microcode?

I think so, yes.

I was halfway through creating one and got distracted. :(
