Subject: [RFC][PATCH 0/2] x86/jump labels: Add the 5 byte or 2 byte jumps

As I said, I would post the patches that let the jmps used by jump labels
be turn to 2 bytes where possible. These are a bit controversial due
to the complexity of the update_jump_label code.

These patches are based off of tip's x86/jumplabel code.

But if someone cares to play with it, feel free. I'll push this up
to my repo under: tip/perf/jump-label-7 (internally this is my 7th version).

I'll post a patch that does the counting as well as a reply to this
post.

Enjoy,

-- Steve
