The only architecture that actually needs to convert compiler generated jump label NOP encodings into something else at runtime is MIPS, because the assembler cannot be trusted to emit a sequence that can be safely patched into a branch instruction. All other architectures either do nothing with jump label NOPs at load time, or patch a perfectly good NOP into a different one, or into the same one - none of this seems very useful, so let's get rid of it where we can.
