The .got.plt section should always be zero (or filled only with the
linker-generated lazy dispatch entry). Enforce this with an assert and
mark the section as NOLOAD. This is more sensitive than just blindly
discarding the section.

Is this actually needed? vmlinux is a position-dependent executable, and
it doesn't get linked with any shared libraries, so it should never have
a .got or .got.plt at all I think? Does it show up as an orphan without
this?

When I switched from DISCARD to 0-assert, I tested all of these, but given
so many combinations, perhaps I made a mistake. I will double-check and
report back.

Yup, I see this:

/usr/bin/ld.bfd: warning: orphan section `.got.plt' from `arch/x86/kernel/head_64.o' being placed in section `.got.plt'
