I much prefer you use 'u32' there.

That will result in jump_label_swap being an unused symbol for some
compile options.

Would it not be much nicer to write that like:

static void jump_label_swap(void *a, void *b, int size)
{
	struct jump_entry *jea = a, *jeb = b;

#ifdef CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_JUMP_LABEL_RELATIVE
	long delta = a - b;

	jea->code += delta;
	jea->target += delta;
	jea->key += delta;

	jeb->code -= delta;
	jeb->target -= delta;
	jeb->key -= delta;
#else

	swap(*jea, *jeb);
}

And then unconditionally use jump_label_swap().
