I thought about the fact I have a merged /usr now which means everything
is in /usr. I hadn't thought of microcode being needed tho. How do I
find out if there is any microcode being loaded on my system? I do have
the package installed, read somewhere that it only loads something if it
is needed so no real harm in having it installed even if nothing is
being used today. It could prove helpful if something is being used
later on tho.
Is there somewhere I can look or some command I can run to see if I load
any microcode that it needs to access while booting but before /var is
mounted? Why isn't the microcode put in /usr or something anyway?
