Hi Ard,

You remain extremely unpleasant to communicate with. Can we keep
things on topic please?
As far as I can tell, the early patching code on ARM does not rely on
the early fixmap code. Did you try just moving jump_label_init()
earlier in the function?

Also, how did you test this change?
Just booting a few configs in QEMU. I don't have access to real
hardware right now unfortunately.

Let me give a try to just moving the jump_label_init() function alone.
That'd certainly make this patch a lot more basic, which would be a
good thing, and might assuage your well justified concerns that too
much boot order churn will break something subtle. I was just afraid
of complicated intermingling with the other stuff after I saw that
arm64 did things in the other order. But maybe that's silly.

I'll send a v2 if that works, and send an update here if it doesn't.
Thanks for the suggestion.

Jason
