+Linux Processor Microcode Data File
+
+The microcode data file contains the latest microcode definitions for all Intel processors.
+Intel releases microcode updates to correct processor behavior as documented in the respective
+processor specification updates. While the regular approach to getting this microcode update
+is via a BIOS upgrade, Intel realizes that this can be an administrative hassle. The Linux
+operating system and VMware ESX products have a mechanism to update the microcode after booting.
+
+This script is intended to repackage the official Intel microcode tarball.
+The resulting firmware file is placed under /lib/firmware/microcode.dat

+# 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 ':' except on otherwise blank lines.
