    SubjectRe: Linux IA32 microcode driver
    The msr driver doesn't support devfs at all, and nor
    does cpuid come to that. However, microcode creates a
    miscellaneous character device, number (10,184), in
    the /dev/misc directory. This is why the regular
    /dev/cpu/microcode file is so mysterious...
