Basically this patch looks ok, just a couple of nitpicks/comments.

Please change the subject to something more meaningful like

"x86, AMD: Make cpu_has_amd_erratum use currect cpuinfo descriptor" or
so.

BUG_ON is kinda heavy-handed here, a WARN_ON should be fine.

Other than that, I like the commit message: it explains the whole deal
in a very detailed manner and I'd wish more commit messages on lkml
would be like that. Good job!
