Autoload-on-boot support will not be added to the iucode-tool package at this time.
Well I was more thinking about adding it in the kernel part like other drivers that need firmware do.
Autoloading support IS available through the intel-microcode package, and it does support non-modular microcode, *as long as* you use an initramfs. This is quite throughoutly explained in the README files for intel-microcode. If you don't use an initramfs AND you don't use modular microcode, autoloading will not work out-of-the-box.
Yes I know.
The packages have enough instructions to let you configure your custom system to autoload the microcode update in their README files, though.
Already added the relevant lines to rc.local. BTW, on I5 adding the up-todate version does enable some perf feature that are otherwise not available.
