The jump_entry.h is per arch found in:
arch/<arch>/include/asm/jump_entry.

Its being found in modpost.c, via:

HOST_EXTRACFLAGS += -iquote "$(srctree)/arch/$(hdr-arch)/include/asm"

in scripts/mod/Makefile

I used the quotes so that its less likely to conflict with any other
include.

right. i have that defined already as include/linux/jump_label.h. Which
is the include file that kernel code uses. However, I can't use it in
the modpost.c code, since there are a number of kernel specific
references. (I probably could simplify things a bit using #ifdef
KERNEL).

agreed. I'll clean this up in the next iteration.
