Thanks, Ingo / Hpa, can you make the below patch appear in the right tip
branch?

Subject: jump_label, x86: Fix asm for older GCCs
From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>
Date: Wed Aug 12 20:58:48 CEST 2015

Boris reported that: gcc version 4.4.4 20100503 (Red Hat 4.4.4-2)
fails to build. The problem appears that even though @key and @branch
are compile time constants it doesn't see: &((char *)key)[branch]
as an immediate. More recent GCCs don't appear to have this problem.

In particular, Red Hat backported the asm goto feature into 4.4,
'normal' 4.4 compilers will not have this feature and thus not run
into this asm.

The solution is to supply both values to the asm as immediates and do
the addition in asm.
