Jump instruction — The JMP (jump) instruction unconditionally transfers program
control to a destination instruction. The transfer is one-way; that is, a return address
is not saved. A destination operand specifies the address (the instruction pointer) of
the destination instruction. The address can be a relative address or an absolute
address.
A relative address is a displacement (offset) with respect to the address in the EIP
register. The destination address (a near pointer) is formed by adding the displace-
ment to the address in the EIP register. The displacement is specified with a signed
integer, allowing jumps either forward or backward in the instruction stream.
An absolute address is a offset from address 0 of a segment. It can be specified in
either of the following ways:
• An address in a general-purpose register — This address is treated as a near
pointer, which is copied into the EIP register. Program execution then continues at
the new address within the current code segment.
• An address specified using the standard addressing modes of the
processor — Here, the address can be a near pointer or a far pointer. If the
address is for a near pointer, the address is translated into an offset and copied
into the EIP register. If the address is for a far pointer, the address is translated
into a segment selector (which is copied into the CS register) and an offset
(which is copied into the EIP register).
In protected mode, the JMP instruction also allows jumps to a call gate, a task gate,
and a task-state segment.

A relative address = jmp ?????????
absolute address > An address in a general-purpose register  = jmp eax ;is that correct?
absolute address > An address specified using the standard addressing modes of the 
processor = jmp ???????
