There's no point in trying to optimize the code when the code is
executed from a read-only medium (e. g. NOR flash) as in the XIP
case. Moreover, trying to do so in a XIP kernel may result in
faults and kernel crashes so let's explicitly disallow JUMP_LABEL
if XIP_KERNEL configuration option is set.

This option enables a transparent branch optimization that
makes certain almost-always-true or almost-always-false branch
