mce_64.c: mce_cpu_quirks being ignored

A recent change to mce_init in -mm does the following:

@@ -462,7 +463,7 @@ static void mce_init(void *dummy)
wrmsr(MSR_IA32_MCG_CTL, 0xffffffff, 0xffffffff);

for (i = 0; i < banks; i++) {
- wrmsrl(MSR_IA32_MC0_CTL+4*i, bank[i]);
+ wrmsrl(MSR_IA32_MC0_CTL+4*i, ~0UL);
wrmsrl(MSR_IA32_MC0_STATUS+4*i, 0);
}
....

This change appears to ignore the fact that mce_cpu_quirks() clears a
bit in bank[4] for certain CPUs, as in:

static void __cpuinit mce_cpu_quirks(struct cpuinfo_x86 *c)
{
/* This should be disabled by the BIOS, but isn't always */
if (c->x86_vendor == X86_VENDOR_AMD) {
if(c->x86 == 15)
/* disable GART TBL walk error reporting, which trips off
incorrectly with the IOMMU & 3ware & Cerberus. */
clear_bit(10, &bank[4]);
....

Is turning off that bit still needed?
