- Description:
- This port uses the cpuctl(4) microcode update facility to keep your Intel
processor's firmware up-to-date.
Updating your microcode can help to mitigate certain potential security
vulnerabilities in CPUs as well as address certain functional issues that could,
for example, result in unpredictable system behavior such as hangs, crashes,
unexpected reboots, data errors, etc.

cpu-microcode-intel: Add knobs for RC RUN_DEPENDS and split files
Split UCODE files as well as dependency on sysutils/cpu-microcode-rc
are only required for use with cpucontrol(8) and update method two
respectively. The first method needs neither so we can spare a few
MiB and a superfluous port.
Given that the automatic update method one is superior, the RC knob
should be deprecated and removed eventually. At that point, split
UCODE files still will be useful for developers and if users want
to update the microcode without a reboot (but otherwise rely on the
loader for automatic updates, i. e. method one).

sysutils/cpu-microcode-*: Reorganize CPU microcode ports
Prior to this update, sysutils/devcpu-data, which only contained an RC
script, had run dependencies on the AMD and Intel microcode ports. This
made it cumbersome to have just the AMD or just the Intel microcode
ports installed. With this change, the microcode ports now depend on
the RC script.
Other changes:
- Use more intuitive port names: cpu-microcode, cpu-microcode-amd,
cpu-microcode-intel, and cpu-microcode-rc.
- Add the metaport, cpu-microcode, which pulls in all related ports.
- Pet portclippy/portfmt
