What I am saying is microcode is more on the hardware side.

Moreover what I am interested in is to set a tendency, rather than on 
things to change overnight.

Firmware is a common concern because it can be overwritten by malware, 
have malicious functionalities, or have back-doors.

That has never been the case with microcode. It just declares the 
instruction set, but is not an executable.
