> Hey, please consider!
> 
> A bunch of info in JBS entry, please read that also.
> 
> I narrowed this issue down to the old jal optimization, making direct calls when in reach.
> This patch restores them and removes this regression.
> 
> In essence we turn "jalr ra,0(t1)" into a "jal ra,<dest>" if reachable, and restore the jalr if a new destination is not reachable.

> Please test on your hardware!
