Didn't Torvalds already accept Intel's "garbage" Linux kernel patches?

I don't think so, they're still under discussion on LKML, including an alternative proposal by Ingo Molnar.

Nah, it's just the well-known issue with the microcode being buggy. There's nothing new really.

Microcode is not reviewed by anyone outside of Intel.
