I wouldn't count on it very much, especially nowadays when hardware is very usable far longer than vendors are even willing to support it. But that's the reason why Linux kernel provides a way to update a microcode early during boot or even in runtime. Maybe it's a good idea to implement it for DragonFly as well. https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/Documentation/x86/microcode.txt -- Hasso Tepper
