Avoid writing "This patch" in the commit message of a patch. It is
tautologically useless.

This code doesn't belong in the "apply_quirks" function but in
__mcheck_cpu_init_vendor(). Just add a X86_VENDOR_CENTAUR case there.

I know, I know, there's a similar Intel piece which does the same thing
but all that quirks code should go to the vendor-specific init functions
and the quirks function be deleted. One day when I get bored...

arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/mce.c: In function ‘__mcheck_cpu_apply_quirks’:
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/mce.c:1688:64: error: ‘struct cpuinfo_x86’ has no 
member named ‘x86_mask’; did you mean ‘x86_model’?
   if ((c->x86 > 6 || (c->x86 == 6 && c->x86_model == 0xf && c->x86_mask 
>=0xe)) &&
                                                                ^~~~~~~~

and no, it needs to be x86_stepping.

Also,

Please integrate scripts/checkpatch.pl into your patch creation
workflow. Some of the warnings/errors *actually* make sense.

Thx.
