[RFC][PATCH 8/8] jump_label, x86: Enable JMP8/NOP2 support

From: Peter Zijlstra
Date: Fri Jun 28 2019 - 09:36:39 EST


Enable and emit short JMP/NOP jump_label entries.

Much thanks to Josh for (re)discovering the .skip trick to
conditionally emit variable length text.

Due to how early we enable jump_labels on x86, if any of this comes
apart, the machine is completely dead. Qemu+GDB saved the day this
time.
