Something like:

#define if_static_likely(_key) \
	if (static_branch_likely(_key) && (arch_static_assert(), true))

should work I think. The thing about static_cpu_has() is that it doesn't
use jump_labels but alternatives. I could of course also construct an
assert for that, but it needs different things.
