Is it ok if I'm not including microcode updates ?
It might, or might not. On the i945/946 it probably is ok. A lot of modern CPUs can't boot successfully anymore without loading microcode.
Most modern ARM, MIPS, and AVR CPUs can.
ARM does not have the concept of microcode, except for possibly a couple of derivatives (Tegra, ?)
Confusion I suspected is many many chips not x86, where microcode most relevant. In fact, with all little processor everywhere, x86 only little part, and not "most". I see you and Ron very effective at make this clear.
