For large part yes, wrapped code in patch form with commit message etc.
And modified comment a little bit.

Does that still require his address in "From"?

Haha. True. But looks like that's actually it's name.

If tautologies are not your thing, how about changing comments around 
0x80000001,ecx to say "AMD extended features 1" and
for 0x80000008, ebx say "AMD extended features 2"?
