"Modern" CPUs have plenty of spare register space, most of it
undocumented. Register space can be used to record something of state,
allowing instruction streams to be self-parsing.
Anyway I think this falls mostly in the hardware side. I liked microcode
to be libre too, but I'm

It supports neither your peculiar assertion that microcode is not
executable nor your equally peculiar assertion that microcode is not

Just for the record, if microcode can play with the CPU internal
system state, say, the bits that specify whether the CPU is in
supervisor or user state, there's not much to stop, for instance, a
microcode update from providing an undocumented trap to a hidden
routine in the BIOS that

Because they need to support old machines that require an unchanged kernel.

Not firmware, but microcode. It is just how the instruction set is
handled in

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
Nearly all compact Linux computers feasible for gaming are sold
exclusively using NVIDIA graphics, and that company is hostile to libre
software.
So I think it is very important that we support AMD right now on what we
can, and ask manufacturers to include AMD graphics in those products.
