On Alder Lake R0 systems (Intel Core i3-1215U / CPUID 06-9a-04.80),
the cpu-microcode-intel package appears to miss the required .80
microcode split files.

Installed packages:

cpu-microcode-intel-20260227
os-cpu-microcode-intel-1.1

Current microcode after boot:

x86info -a | grep -i micro
Microcode version: 0x432

Boot log:

dmesg | grep -i micro
CPU microcode: no matching update found

The package currently only contains:

/usr/local/share/cpucontrol/06-9a-04.40

However, Linux microcode packages contain:
- 06-9a-04.10
- 06-9a-04.40
- 06-9a-04.80

The Linux blobs are also significantly larger, suggesting that
the FreeBSD split packaging may have omitted the .10 and .80
variants entirely.

As a result, Alder Lake R0 platform 06-9a-04.80 systems appear
to remain on firmware-provided microcode (0x432) instead of
newer revisions (Linux currently loads 0x43a).
