For absolute jumps you don't need extra logic, since CPUs could declare the last page always unmapped, so such jumps would always result in a page fault (similarly to the null page on most systems).
For relative non-immediate jumps the added logic is extremely simple (hardware exception on NaN) and should not (AFAIK) hinder performance of jumps in any way.
