That's pretty cool, I didn't know of this functionality. Is there a good resource on how to look it up?
Loading the microcode is straightforward---all you need to do is put a few values in the appropriate MSRs. This is described in the Intel manuals, Volume 3. The microcode itself is embedded in the above DLLs, as a big binary table. The latest entry I see is 20150812 for the Intel 0x40651, aka Haswell.
