Did you read the elaborate comment block explaining that (and why) it
is appropriate to treat R_X86_64_PLT32 as a R_X86_64_PC32 relocation?
This is not generally true, but it is true for UEFI since we don't
support shared libraries.
So I think it is incorrect to simply duplicate the code for
R_X86_64_PC32 without mentioning that, and suggesting that the PLT
relocation receive some kind of treatment that is different.
Thanks,
Ard.
