Legacy AMD systems include an integrated Northbridge that is represented by MCA bank 4. This is the only non-core MCA bank in legacy systems. The Northbridge is physically shared by all the CPUs within an AMD "Node". However, in practice the "shared" MCA bank can only by managed by a single CPU within that AMD Node. This is known as the "Node Base Core" (NBC). For example, only the NBC will be able to read the MCA bank 4 registers; they will be Read-as-Zero for other CPUs. Also, the MCA Thresholding interrupt will only signal the NBC; the other CPUs will not receive it. This is enforced by hardware, and it should not be managed by software. The current AMD Thresholding code attempts to deal with the "shared" MCA bank by micromanaging the bank's sysfs kobjects. However, this does not follow the intended kobject use cases. It is also fragile, and it has caused bugs in the past. Modern AMD systems do not need this shared MCA bank support, and it should not be needed on legacy systems either. Remove the shared threshold bank code. Also, move the threshold struct definitions to mce/amd.c, since they are no longer needed in amd_nb.c.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
