    x86: Drop INDIRECT_JMP
    
    Indirect JMPs which are not tailcalls can lead to an unwelcome form of
    speculative type confusion, and we've removed the uses of INDIRECT_JMP to
    compensate.  Remove the temptation to reintroduce new instances.
    
    This is part of XSA-456 / CVE-2024-2201.
