Yep,
those are all before 3.2.
Well, if you still want to find out the microcode revision on those
boxes, on both AMD and Intel you can do as root:
$ rdmsr 0x8b
You need the msr.ko kernel module loaded or built-in (CONFIG_X86_MSR
option enabled) for this and rdmsr is from the msr-tools package.
HTH.
