I'm using Grub 2.02 beta 2 to boot three operating systems on my machine
(Gentoo, FreeBSD and Windows 8.1.) It would be nice if I could make Grub
do a microcode update before booting any of those operating systems.
Right now, I am only able to a microcode update in Linux, after the
kernel is booted.


Someone will need to write grub code to do it.

I found this:

    http://biosbits.org

This seems to be a fork of Grub. I suppose there's no plans to merge any
of this in Grub?

You need to contact Intel and ask them to submit code upstream.

Note that they support microcode loading on PC BIOS platform only and
Linux can do it on both PC BIOS and UEFI. What is wrong with loading
microcode after Linux is booted?

Linux isn't booted. Therefore, no microcode update. And you can't boot Linux anyway to do the update and then reboot to another OS; the microcode doesn't persist across reboots.
