Henrique, I didn't realize until today that the systemd tmpfiles.d would
also get triggered as part of the intel-microcode postinst in addition
to very early in the boot process. I have reverted it for focal (and
eventually groovy) because of the increased risk of instability and the
greater difficulty that it adds to recovery from a bad microcode update;
booting an earlier kernel/initramfs combination with an older microcode
embedded would still get the new bad microcode loaded via the tmpfiles.d
snippet.

I used this bug report as a reference for the upload, but re-opened the
issue as it's not clear whether an early-loaded microcode is a problem
for the reporter.
