Typo: "implementaiton" -> "implementation".

Two issues with the scanf format:

1) The width specifier %16s allows writing up to 16 characters plus
a NUL terminator into a 16-byte buffer, which is a one-byte overflow.
Should be %15s.

2) The [^\n] after %16s is treated as literal text to match, not as a
scanset. It is effectively dead and does not do what it looks like it
should. Either drop it, or if the intent was to match characters
including spaces use %15[^\n] as the conversion specifier (but vendor_id
values are single words so %15s should be fine).

The message has a grammar issue. Something like
"Test needs '%s' CPU, have '%s'" would read better.

Two extra blank lines were added before #endif.
