I don't have AMD hardware to test, but the port changes look good. I like the sysutils/cpu-microcode-rc/files/pkg-message.in changes. Referring to the two methods as 'Early/Late loading' is clearer than the 'first/second method'.

Thanks.

P.S. I notice that sysutils/cpu-microcode-rc/pkg-descr needs updating. I think it makes more sense to do that in a separate commit, which I'll do after these changes land.

I also see that we need an update, which I will also do after this lands.
