This patch is fatal for me in the downstream Raspberry Pi kernel - it locks up on boot even before the earlycon output is available. Hacking jump_label_init to skip the jump_entry for "crng_is_ready" allows it to boot, but is likely to have consequences further down the line.
Also, reading this a few times, I'm not 100% sure I understand what you did to hack around this and why that works. Think you could paste your hackpatch just out of interest to the discussion (but obviously not to be applied)?
This is the minimal version of my workaround patch that at least allows the board to boot. Bear in mind that it was written with no previous knowledge of jump labels and was arrived at by iteratively bisecting the list of jump_labels until the first dangerous one was found, then later working out that there was only one.
Looks like this patch fails due to CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX. Investigating deeper now, but that for starters seems to be the differentiating factor between my prior test rig and one that reproduces the error. I assume your raspi also sets CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX.
