We need to ensure that the BSS is zeroed out for all platforms.
Currently only prom_init.c was clearlying out the BSS which only works
for PPC_OF platforms.

You need to make absolutely certain that we have not written anything to
the bss yet though... Is that the case ? I usually prefer doing the
zero'ing in assembly :)
early_init is called so early, its almost like asm code.
