Hmm, we lost the line number, so I don't know which "bug_at()" was
called.

You are correct that this is where it crashes. As
smp_prepare_boot_cpu() is called just before jump_label_init().

Now, if this just needs to be done before smp is enabled, then you have
plenty of time. There's even a "do_pre_smp_init_calls()".

I'm thinking that you can delay where you do that update.
