It sounds like you're already looking in the right places.

The switch lowering starts in SelectionDAGBuilder::visitSwitch which
analyses the switch and decides how to lower it. For jump tables, it
calls SelectionDAGBuilder::buildJumpTable which creates and populates
the JumpTable and JumpTableHeader

Hope this helps,
