Do we really need an explicit vendor check in this particular instance?

Below is a snippet from __print_mce() after applying this series:

    if (mce_flags.smca) {
        if (m->synd)
            pr_cont("SYND %llx ", m->synd);
        if (err->vi.amd.synd1)
            pr_cont("SYND1 %llx ", err->vi.amd.synd1);
        if (err->vi.amd.synd2)
            pr_cont("SYND2 %llx ", err->vi.amd.synd2);
        if (m->ipid)
            pr_cont("IPID %llx ", m->ipid);
        if (err->vi.amd.config)
            pr_cont("CONFIG %llx ", err->vi.amd.config);
    }

    pr_cont("\n");

All of the above registers including the newly added config MSR will only
be logged if the smca flag is set in mce_flags.
Doesn't that already serve as a vendor check of sorts?
Something that I am missing here?
