No new externs on function declarations, they tell me.

The problem here is a timer can be scheduled (e.g., by an external 
interrupt if it gets taken before the decrementer, then uses a
timer) and that set decr > 1. See logic in decrementer_set_next_event.

I _think_ the way to get around this would be to have the machine check
just use arch_irq_work_raise.

Then you could also only call the mce handler inside the
test_irq_work_pending() check and avoid the added function call on every 
timer. That test should also be marked unlikely come to think of it, but
that's a side patchlet.

Getting rid of these things would be very nice.

It looks like if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3S_64)) should work here?

extern can be removed.
