So far so good but above says "New Centaur CPU[s]" but you're calling
mce_intel_feature_init() unconditionally here, for *all* centaur CPUs.
Ditto for setting the CMCI handler.

Also mce_intel_feature_init() does more things than init CMCI so I think
you wanna limit that to only intel_init_cmci(). IOW, something like the
hunk below.

And frankly I'm not crazy about adding centaur code to mce_intel.c but
since it is copying functionality, I think we should copy the sw support
in the kernel too instead of adding a mce_centaur.c duplicate. For now
at least...

Thx.
