Bug Description
When booting my AMD system with 4.4.0-109.132, the microcode is updated:
root@ocelot:~# journalctl -k | grep microcode
Jan 13 15:26:36 ocelot kernel: microcode: CPU0: patch_level=
Jan 13 15:26:36 ocelot kernel: microcode: CPU1: patch_level=

Jan 13 15:26:36 ocelot kernel: microcode: CPU0: new patch_level=
Jan 13 15:26:36 ocelot kernel: microcode: CPU1: new patch_level=
However, with 4.4.0-110.133, no microcode is loaded:
root@ocelot:~# journalctl -k | grep microcode
# nothing
