Peter Zijlstra 76b235c6bc jump_label: Rename JUMP_LABEL_{EN,DIS}ABLE to JUMP_LABEL_{JMP,NOP}
Since we've already stepped away from ENABLE is a JMP and DISABLE is a
NOP with the branch_default bits, and are going to make it even worse,
rename it to make it all clearer.

This way we don't mix multiple levels of logic attributes, but have a
plain 'physical' name for what the current instruction patching status
of a jump label is.

This is a first step in removing the naming confusion that has led to
a stream of avoidable bugs such as:

Should do what other architectures do and wrap all that code into
the appropriate ifdef

Michael Ellerman ac5f89c7d8 powerpc: Add jump label support
This patch adds support for the new "jump label" feature.

Unlike x86 and sparc we just merrily patch the code with no locks etc,
as far as I know this is safe, but I'm not really sure what the x86/sparc
code is protecting against so maybe it's not.

I also don't see any reason for us to implement the poke_early() routine,
even though sparc does.
