I think it's a glorious idea :)  I'd like to see a comment somewhere
describing the limitations on elf_backend_plt_entry_size; I don't want
normal PLT-related code to start assuming that PLT entries have a fixed
size, since I have some patches for ARM to implement variable sized PLT
entries.  I'm not quite sure how to fit that into this, though.
