Yes, but text reaching PLT is trivial with the large code model.  But PLT
reaching GOT requires changing the PLT layout.  The reason for my idea
of moving the PLT was to avoid doing that.  And with a large readonly only
the latter layout achieves that.  So I think that should be the default layout.
