That issue is very specific to some older/lighter AMD cpus, and the
bug report is here : https://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=9860
(probably where you found the workaround)
I don't think that it's worth a respin, nor a custom iso for that
issue, as one can just edit the Live image boot parameters (through
isolinux config), and then apply the parameter through grub (as you did)
