Finally this weekend I got to work on this some.  The short story is
it works.  Thanks!

The long story is that it took me a day of hacking in code I would rather 
not have to look at to discover that it won't work if your running SELinux 
in "enforcing" mode.  (It can't open the microcode file.)  I'm sure the 
SELinux policy database, wherever that is, could be changed to make things 
work, but the easy fix is to adjust /etc/sysconfig/selinux so that the 
line that starts SELINUX= reads SELINUX=disabled or (reportedly, I didn't 
try it) to add selinux=0 to the appropriate kernel line in 
/boot/grub/grub.conf
