Now the updated one fails to boot in exactly the same way as the standard CentOS kernel. This must be some change they have made to mitigate the CPU vulnerabilities. I think we’ll have to stay on the standard kernel version 3.10.0-693.11.1 until more information is available. Cheers, Mike

So if you're using CentOS 7 and are affected by this then it sounds like the way to go would be to install that kernel and get future kernels from Plus also. Hopefully at the next point release of CentOS 7 they would include a fixed kernel in the main repository. As far as I am aware the kernel package in CentOS 6 has already had this problem fixed.
