So the problem is something like:
core kernel:
jump_label_enable()
module:
JUMP_LABEL()
And then because we don't have a proper __jump_table section, the jump_label_enable() won't properly work?
Why not let jump_label_enable() add a dummy entry with the enabled bit and once you load the module merge the real entry into it.
