I'd assume by not loading them, and pretending that the CPU microcode doesn't exist. (the default one is hidden away inside the cpu, it's therefore "freedom preserving", while a microcode update is forbidden, because it's too easy to see.)
Although...the removal of the default bios here maybe indicates that the out-of-sight-out-of-mind view of the world is changing?
