…This disables microcode being included and loaded by Coreboot because of a current issue in which newer kernels panic when doing so. Added note to KGPE-D16 configs about the current microcode bug, why microcode is not included and encouraging AMD Opteron 6300 series users to make sure their operating system loads microcode.
