In order to use static_call() to wire up x86_pmu, we need to initialize earlier, specifically before memory allocation works; copy some of the tricks from jump_label to enable this. Primarily we overload key->next to store a sites pointer when there are no modules, this avoids having to use kmalloc() to initialize the sites and allows us to run much earlier.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
