That message is issued by the version of "modprobe" implemented by "busybox", used inside the initramfs. The correct fix should be to not call "modprobe microcode" from inside the initramfs when the microcode module isn't present in the first place. Unfortunately, there is no appropriate support for this in initramfs-tools, not even to fail it quietly. However, it is possible to not (attempt to) install a module to the initramfs based on the kernel version. So, users of kernels 4.4 and later wouldn't get the "modprobe microcode" command with such a fix, and therefore they wouldn't get that useless error message either. Users of older kernels will still get that message if they lack the microcode module. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them. One disk to bring them all and in the darkness grind them.
