Hello Catalin,

Looks like your patch "efd9e03 arm64: Use static keys for CPU features"
breaks arm64 build with "CONFIG_ARM64_LSE_ATOMICS=y" because it creates a
circular dependency for asm/lse.h through jump_label.h:

I'm unable to reproduce this. I've tried enabling LSE with defconfig and
mainline, using compilers that both do and don't support the instructions.

I am not able to reproduce it either. One minor problem I see with the commit could
be fixed with the following change : Does it help ?
