Up to this patch, even the jump_entry structure is the same on all
architectures (the jump_label_t type differs).

With relative offset, can you not just define jump_label_t to s32? At a
quick grep in mainline, it doesn't seem to be used outside the structure
definition.

You could as well define them directly in kernel/jump_label.h or, if
used outside this file, include/linux/jump_label.h.
