Package: intel-microcode
Version: 3.20150107.1+x32
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Hi!
Please add x32 to the list of architectures. There's also an issue of 32/64
bit split which I don't quite understand. I assumed that, as x32 requires a
64-bit capable processor and runs an amd64 kernel, it does want the 64-bit
microcode version. The version below didn't seem to cause the computer to
burst in flames, at least.
