Description

How can one determine what specific instruction(s) or registers should be updated to implement specific errata workaround?

Once the BIOS has load the microcode, then next step is to implement specific errata workarounds. How a can the details of the workaround be understood, so that this can be implemented in the UEFI BIOS?

Here are details on specific issue:
