threshold_restart_bank() reprograms the MISC MSR after sanity-checking
the fields supplied for that MSR. store_threshold_limit() sets the error
count, store_interrupt_enable() enables/disables the interrupt and both
call threshold_restart_bank() to do that.
But this is basically spelling the code now - I don't think we need to
comment in that detail.
/*
* Called via smp_call_function_single(), must be called with correct
* cpu affinity.
*/
is also useless.

No sorry, I don't want to be explaining every line. Just say: "Reprogram
the MISC MSR behind this threshold bank."
