This patch originally comes from the Linus mainline kernel (2.6.33), find below the patch details: From: Andreas Herrmann Subject: x86: ucode-amd: Don't warn when no ucode is available for a CPU revision There is no point in warning when there is no ucode available for a specific CPU revision. Currently the container-file, which provides the AMD ucode patches for OS load, contains only a few ucode patches. It's already clearly indicated by the printed patch_level whenever new ucode was available and an update happened. So the warning message is of no help but rather annoying on systems with many CPUs.
