Package: needrestart
Version: 3.3-1
Severity: normal
File: /usr/lib/needrestart/iucode-scan-versions

I have a system that changes between two different CPUs occasionally.
I have a system that boots a different computer at almost every boot.

To get the right microcode loaded, both turn off CPU scanning:

/etc/default/intel-microcode:
IUCODE_TOOL_SCANCPUS=no

The first one also restricts installed microcode to the used CPUs:

/etc/default/intel-microcode:
IUCODE_TOOL_EXTRA_OPTIONS="-s 0x000XXXXX,0xXX -s 0x000XXXXX,0xXX"

For both of these, the needrestart microcode checking complains
that the running microcode is at a different revision to the initrd
microcode. The revision that the first system prints is the revision
for the other CPU that is not currently booted. The revision that the
second system prints is a revision for the another random CPU.
