This isn't something that is dictated by the ABI  and its entirely constrained to the module being linked so we are free design something less invasive.  This implementation was chosen mostly to match what ld.gold implements. I think your suggestion of treating a long branch target as a regular .got.plt entry is feasible, but I'll likely have to make a small change in Symbol since the PltIndex does double duty for the GotPlt offset as well as determining if a symbol is in the plt.
