Shouldn't that depend on NVDIMM or whatnot? Looks too generic now.

No need for "extern"

If you move the #ifdef here, you can save yourself the ifdeffery in the
header above.

Of all the places, this one is missing #ifdef CONFIG_MCE_KERNEL_RECOVERY.

You can make this one a bit more readable by doing:

/* Given an address, look for it in the machine check exception tables. */
const struct exception_table_entry *
search_mcexception_tables(unsigned long addr)
{
#ifdef CONFIG_MCE_KERNEL_RECOVERY
return search_extable(__start___mcex_table,
__stop___mcex_table - 1, addr);
#endif
}
