Hi,
	I am trying out on RELENG_11 on a Ryzen CPU

Without kib's commits at

https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/svn-src-stable-11/2018-January/005320.html

I get

root_at_testamd:/usr/ports/sysutils/devcpu-data #
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/microcode_update onestart
Updating CPU Microcode...
Re-evalutation of CPU flags Failed.
root_at_testamd:/usr/ports/sysutils/devcpu-data #

with r327597,

root_at_testamd:/home/mdtancsa # /usr/local/etc/rc.d/microcode_update onestart
Updating CPU Microcode...
Done.
root_at_testamd:/home/mdtancsa #



running x86info -a also generates this error / warning ?

Also your diff is based on a previous version of the port. There was an
update since, with new microcode from Intel that gets clobbered in your
diffs.


Thanks!
