As you surmise, it is not an error, rather an informational item.
The revision is of course the RCS revision of the microcode file.
The user field is another compiled in string - it is used
during development to identify the developer so that when
someone walks up to a machine they can tell if there is
experimental microcode loaded or not. When the official releases are
build a anonymous user id is placed there.
