In preparation of switching x86 to use place-relative references for
the code, target and key members of struct jump_entry, replace direct
references to the struct members with invocations of the new accessors.
This will allow us to make the switch by modifying the accessors only.

That just makes horrible code worse.. can't we do something like so
instead?
Sure, I will incorporate that for v2.
