Avoid having "This patch" or "This commit" in the commit message. It is
tautologically useless.

Also, do

$ git grep 'This patch' Documentation/process

for more details.

struct cpuinfo_x86 *c = &boot_cpu_data;

and then you can use "c" everywhere.

u64 for something which fits in a byte?

Also,
max_perf = 255;

and you can remove the else and default branches below.

Why is this here and not in arch/x86/kernel/cpu/amd.c?

This chunk is repeated here. Why?
