I am learning the fantastic work by you (git log -p e7eb919057c3),
e7eb919057c3 provides
a trampoline to detect and correct the wrong endian when handling the
exception caused by the WARN
(static key used before call to jump_label_init)

I am also studying 60e5b2886b92, this commit delays the use of the
static key after jump_label_init is called.

Yes, as a beginner, I like to study technologies, but I am not able to
do such a complex job ;-)

OK, I will do that.

Thanks again for your guidance ;-)
I will try to make a second version of the PATCH tomorrow.
Anyhow, this is a valuable learning process for me ;-)

Many Thank
