1 I've got this in my boot directory:
2 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 67584 Jan 10 15:12 /boot/microcode.bin
3 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 33792 Jan 7 23:56 /boot/microcode.bin.prev
4
5 These are the split ucode file for my cpu, specifically a copy of
6 /lib/firmware/intel-ucode/06-3f-02.

8 I'm running xen, an xl dmesg says (from loading microcode at boot):
9 (XEN) microcode: CPU0 updated from revision 0x39 to 0x3b, date = 2017-11-17
10 (XEN) xstate: size: 0x340 and states: 0x7
11
12 0x3b is the same as with the previous microcode, but the size of the
13 file has changed. What is up with that?
