From what I can tell from grepping the lto source, the vtable entry in
lto_file is set but never used.  Is this old code that never got
removed or the beginning of an idea that never got implemented?

I'm inclined to remove it if it's not doing anything.

It was needed when the LTO reader had to map DWARF2 sections.
It is obsolete now.
