I don't think that's what threshold_restart_bank() does...
Hmm, we call this from mce_threshold_block_init() with set_lvt_off = 1
to write LVT offset value to MCi_MISC.
And we call this from store_interrupt_enable() to program APIC INT TYPE-
if (tr->b->interrupt_enable)
hi |= INT_TYPE_APIC;
and from store_threshold_limit() to re-set the "error count"-
hi = (hi & ~MASK_ERR_COUNT_HI) |
(new_count & THRESHOLD_MAX);
So I thought it fit the description as to "what" it does..
Also, that comment is too much - it shouldn't explain "what" but "why".
How about-
"This function provides user with capabilities to re-program the
'thresold_limit' and 'interrupt_enable' sysfs attributes"

No, that's basically spelling what the code does.
Ok, I'll remove this.

That should be in form of comments explaining what the members of struct
