d871f7b5a6 objtool: Refactor jump table code to support other architectures
The way to identify jump tables and retrieve all the data necessary to
handle the different execution branches is not the same on all
architectures.  In order to be able to add other architecture support,
define an arch-dependent function to process jump-tables.

[J.T.: Move arm64 bits out of this patch,
       Have only one function to find the start of the jump table,
       for now assume that the jump table format will be the same as
       x86]

45245f51f9 objtool: Make relocation in alternative handling arch dependent
As pointed out by the comment in handle_group_alt(), support of
relocation for instructions in an alternative group depends on whether
arch specific kernel code handles it.

So, let objtool arch specific code decide whether a relocation for
the alternative section should be accepted.

eda3dc9058 objtool: Abstract alternative special case handling
Some alternatives associated with a specific feature need to be treated
in a special way. Since the features and how to treat them vary from one
architecture to another, move the special case handling to arch specific
code.
