This is an irritating comment, I don't understand some people's urge to disparage others' research even at the expense of rationality. Even modern Intel and AMD processors are "RISC" under the hood - they decompose CISC x86 instructions into RISC micro-ops, this isn't a VIA phenomenon. But they DON'T open up access to their microcode to some arbitrary user letting you circumvent ring protections to access the kernel from ring 3. If they did that would be a - wait for it - backdoor.
