This package deploys an Intel microcode. This tool is obsolete and the microcode is the
subject to be distributed via kernel-firmware, however Intel still does not
supply the microcode in a form consumable by the Linux's microcode driver. So
that this tool transform Intel's microcode as well as deploy it.
The microcode_ctl utility is a companion to the microcode driver written
by Tigran Aivazian <tigran@aivazian.fsnet.co.uk>.
The microcode update is volatile and needs to be uploaded on each system
boot i.e. it doesn't reflash your cpu permanently, reboot and it reverts
back to the old microcode.
