AFAIK you can't usually replace CPU microcode, as it is signed. Seizing it here, in RW memory, really begs to toy with it: add instructions, edit them. Could you teach your CPU to understand RISC-V?

This is just one random idea. But altering PSP code is also interesting, to use it for your own purposes, or extract encryption keys / make it lie to clients (breaking DRM, for instance).
