Now that we started making the linker warn about orphan sections
(input sections that are not explicitly consumed by an output section),
some configurations produce the following warning:
aarch64-linux-gnu-ld: warning: orphan section `.igot.plt' from
`arch/arm64/kernel/head.o' being placed in section `.igot.plt'
It could be any file that triggers this - head.o is simply the first
input file in the link - and the resulting .igot.plt section never
actually appears in vmlinux as it turns out to be empty.
So let's add .igot.plt to our collection of input sections to disregard
unless they are empty.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
