[PATCH 5/5] x86/mce/AMD: Document some functionality

From: Borislav Petkov
Date: Mon Mar 07 2016 - 08:03:12 EST


From: Aravind Gopalakrishnan <Aravind.Gopalakrishnan@xxxxxxx>

In an attempt to aid in understanding of what the threshold_block
structure holds, provide comments to describe the members here. Also,
trim comments around threshold_restart_bank() and update copyright info.

No functional change is introduced.
