[PATCH net-next v2 3/8] x86/jump_label: expect default_nop if static_key gets enabled on boot-up

From: Hannes Frederic Sowa
Date: Sat Oct 05 2013 - 19:23:51 EST


net_get_random_once(intrduced in the next patch) uses static_keys in
a way that they get enabled on boot-up instead of replaced with an
ideal_nop. So check for default_nop on initial enabling.

Other architectures don't check for this.
