Currently, the hyp code cannot make full use of a bss, as the kernel section is mapped read-only. While this mapping could simply be changed to read-write, it would intermingle even more the hyp and kernel state than they currently are. Instead, introduce a __hyp_bss section, that uses reserved pages, and create the appropriate RW hyp mappings during KVM init.
