Hi Jiang Liu,

Thanks for the updated patches! I still have some small comments, but I
don't think they will cause you much work. See inline.

Just use __ASM_JUMP_LABEL_H to keep consistent with out other headers.

This is the same as AARCH64_INSN_SIZE; just use the latter.

Slightly worrying... this should be CONFIG_HAVE_JUMP_LABEL, right? How did
you manage to test this code?
