The original poster was wondering whether anyone still used the method of 
storing the return address of a jmp in a general register.  I can answer yes.
The Cray-2 has as its equivalent of "JSR" the instruction
"r,Ai  Ak"
Which  branches to the address held in register Ak and stores the return
address in Ai.

The above opinions are not really held by anyone, especially my employer.
