Maybe add an intermediary macro which abstracts the table name:

#define __ASM_EXTABLE(from, to, table)
...

and then do

#define _ASM_EXTABLE(from, to) __ASM_EXTABLE(from, to, "__ex_table")
#define _ASM_MCEXTABLE(from, to) __ASM_EXTABLE(from, to, "__mcex_table")

Yeah, all that duplication might raise some brows but I'd guess
special-handling MCA in the normal exception paths might make the code
a bit too ugly...
