By doing this before the registration of the sysdev, we'll
now be printing this on machines that don't have the microcode
update facility.   Pointless spew, for no obvious gain imo.

[Why we go through so many hoops before we check if the CPU is
 capable is a mystery to me. It would make more sense to have
 that be the first thing that gets checked when this inits]
