I followed the link to the AMD one.  Then I remembered that I do have
microcode loading because I have a amd-uc.img file in /boot.  I never
messed with it but when I update grub config, it finds that.  I guess it
will need a init thingy since it has to have that to load the microcode
thing too.  The devs have it so automatic, I forgot about the thing.  It
only hit me when I read the wiki thing. 

I guess I'll have to keep the init thingy.  Now I know.
