Title:
  Please consider shipping April 2022 microcode updates

Status in amd64-microcode package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  In April this year, AMD published CPU microcode updates. These have
  since found their way to most Linux distributions' default release
  channels. Ubuntu does not currently ship them.

  https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20220408195539.168011-1-john.allen@amd.com/
  https://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs/non-free/a/amd64-microcode/amd64-microcode_3.20220411.1_changelog

  There is no (public?) statement on what these updates do (or what they
  do not do).

  There is no (public?) indication that they have security impact (or
  that they have not).

  Hopefully AMD can do better on this in the future (says an Ubuntu and
  AMD CPU user, not someone currently in a B2B affiliation with either
  of these businesses).

  
  Please consider testing, and eventually shipping, these updates (if not considered, yet). 

  Please design and establish a suitable process that will automatically
  be triggered on future microcode update releases (if not present,
  yet).
