+Intel Microcode Update Utility for Linux
+
+The microcode_ctl utility is a companion to the IA32 microcode driver written
+by Tigran Aivazian <tigran@aivazian.fsnet.co.uk>. The utility has two uses:
+
+* It decodes and sends new microcode to the kernel driver to be uploaded
+    to Intel IA32 processors. (Pentium Pro, PII, PIII, Pentium 4, Celeron,
+    Xeon etc - all P6 and above, which does NOT include pentium classics).
+    It also supports processors of the x86_64 architecture.
+* It signals the kernel driver to release any buffers it may hold.
+
+The microcode update is volatile and needs to be uploaded on each system
+boot i.e. it doesn't reflash your cpu permanently, reboot and it reverts
+back to the old microcode.
+
+To use this utility you need to compile the kernel driver (found under
+"Processor type and features").  The microcode itself can be found at
+http://downloadcenter.intel.com/default.aspx and should be placed under
+/etc/microcode.dat You probably want to have your microcode updated
+each time the system boots, then call "/usr/sbin/microcode_ctl -u" from
+/etc/rc.d/rc.local

+# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
+# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.  Line
+# up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|'
+# on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.  You must
+# make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct.  It's also
+# customary to leave one space after the ':'.
