Hello,

microcode_ctl: writing microcode (length: 281600)
microcode_ctl: error writing to '/dev/cpu/microcode' errno=22 (Invalid argument)
microcode_ctl: there may be messages from the driver
Hello.
I've done further checks:
You can still use the old version: there is no
updated microdes for yours CPUs.
It seems that there is an error in the kernel,
on handling small microcodes.
To test it:
you should remove the last two microcodes from
/usr/share/misc/microcode.dat
i.e. from line
