This looks to be specific to ARM never having had to deal with
DEFINE_STATIC_KEY_TRUE in the past.

I am able to avoid this warning by simply not enabling JUMP_LABEL
support in my build.

I slogged through getting a Beagle Bone Black up and running with a
Yocto build and it is not failing. I have tried apply the patches on
top of v5.1-rc5 as well as re-testing next-20190215 label, no
reproduction. The shuffle appears to avoid anything sensitive by
default, below are the shuffle actions that were taken relative to
iomem. Can someone with a failure reproduction please send me more
details about their configuration? It would also help to get a failing
boot log with the pr_debug() statements in mm/shuffle.c enabled to see
if the failure is correlated with any unexpected shuffle actions.
