static_key and JUMP_TYPE_* can be moved to jump_label_types.h which can
be included by jump_label.h and also synced to tools/include/linux for
objtool to access. I guess objtool would have to "#define
CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL" before including it to get the full definition.

There are some configs (and more coming in the future) which compile
with the kernel with -fdata-sections. So this may need to be something
like
if (strstarts(key->sec->name, ".data"))
