    Pull x86 jumplabel changes from Peter Anvin:
     "One more x86 tree for this merge window.  This tree improves the
      handling of jump labels, so that most of the time we don't have to do
      a massive initial patching run.
    
      Furthermore, we will error out of the jump label is not what is
      expected, eg if it has been corrupted or tampered with"
