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.
