Subject: [PATCH 02/14] [VOYAGER] x86/mca: make mca_nmi_hook external

Part of the apic rework brought the mca_nmi_hook to a place where it
can't be accessed by architecture specific code.  Publish it again,
this time as a settable function vector so that voyager can use it.

If there were more than one possible architecture wanting to use this,
it could become a call chain, but there's only one and MCA is an old
bus, so leave it as a single call hook.
