Urgh.. I always get lost in that whole patching maze :/ Unless Juergen
can move it later, I think the below should also work. Moving
jump_label_init() before smp_prepare_boot_cpu() might not work for all
architectures, but it should work for x86 (and we explicitly allow for
archs to initialize this early).
