Mark ia64-specific MCA/INIT scheduler hooks as dangerous

..and only enable them for ia64. The functions are only valid
when the whole system has been totally stopped and no scheduler
activity is ongoing on any CPU, and interrupts are globally
disabled.

In other words, they aren't useful for anything else. So make
sure that nobody can use them by mistake.
