You have my ACK for patch 5: Any further changes I'll submit as updates once it's merged.
I am happy with patch 5 and I think for 64bit we are probably done for the mainstream. VIA/Centaur data would be nice.
The microcode otoh I don't think makes sense - do you want to be secure with a slightly higher risk of crashes or insecure ? Once you can point at a newer ucode for each case then yes I personally at least think it then makes sense to tell users they want the newer one.
