Subject: RE: [RFC PATCH 5/5] x86/mce: Handle AMD threshold interrupt storms

+		/* Return early on an interrupt storm */
+		if (this_cpu_read(bank_storm[bank]))
+			return;

Is you reasoning for early return that you already have plenty of
logged errors from this bank, so OK to skip additional processing
of this one?
