I'm not applying this patch because you don't want prefixes on most jump
instructions.  You really only want them on jumps that implement tail
calls to other functions, but I don't see any way for the assembler to
easily distinguish between the two cases.  Instead of this patch, which
needlessly increases code size, I suggest you use gcc's
-fno-optimize-sibling-calls.
