jump_label/x86: Work around asm build bug on older/backported GCCs
Boris reported that gcc version 4.4.4 20100503 (Red Hat 4.4.4-2) fails to build linux-next kernels that have this fresh commit via the locking tree: 11276d5306b8 ("locking/static_keys: Add a new static_key interface") The problem appears to be that even though @key and @branch are compile time constants, it doesn't see the following expression as an immediate value: &((char *)key)[branch] More recent GCCs don't appear to have this problem. In particular, Red Hat backported the 'asm goto' feature into 4.4, 'normal' 4.4 compilers will not have this feature and thus not run into this asm. The workaround is to supply both values to the asm as immediates and do the addition in asm. Suggested-by: H.
