True.

This certainly needs a Kconfig "depends on JUMP_LABEL" to turn on the
dynamic switching at all, and a HAVE_JUMP_LABEL compile time failure
if the compiler lacks support. I don't think we need the checks on
'defined(array_ptr_mask) or that 'XXX' warning case, because default
mask is assumed safe, and otherwise better than nothing.
