this is the wrong solution. we should not be repeating arch's packaging mistake (they are the only distro shipping precompiled microcode, after all).

the proper solution for mkinitcpio is in progress.

got it. i agree that microcode should not be put into /boot (which i did not), and that it should not be precompiled with iucode-tool (as i tried to do, and also e.g. alpine does).

btw, the above works with booster and it gives me [ 0.572185] microcode: Updated early from: 0x000000f0
