This flag mimics GCC/Clang's `-fno-jump-tables` [1][2], which makes
the codegen backend avoid generating jump tables when lowering switches.
In the case of LLVM, the `"no-jump-tables"="true"` function attribute is
added to every function.
The kernel currently needs it for x86 when enabling IBT [3], as well
as for Alpha (plus VDSO objects in MIPS/LoongArch).
