Pre-existing, just now triggerable with just "make allnoconfig" rather
than manually turning off other options (like PRINTK) that select
IRQ_WORK.  (One of the goals of that commit: get those options more
widely used and build-tested.)

The following (untested) patch *should* fix this:

Subject: [PATCH] ppc: Make PPC_BOOK3S_64 select IRQ_WORK

arch/powerpc/kernel/mce.c, compiled in for PPC_BOOK3S_64, calls
functions only built when IRQ_WORK, so select it.  Fixes the following
build error:

arch/powerpc/kernel/built-in.o: In function `.machine_check_queue_event':
(.text+0x11260): undefined reference to `.irq_work_queue'
