Here's how I know you haven't tested this on 32-bit:

arch/x86/kernel/cpu/microcode/intel.c: In function ‘print_ucode’:
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/microcode/intel.c:344:33: error: unused variable ‘mc’ [-Werror=unused-variable]

      |                                 ^~

Testing is overrated, right?

The maintainers can do that, ofc.
