Subject: [PATCH 10/12] powerpc/prom_init: Move __prombss to it's own section and store it in .bss

From: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <[email-masked]>
Date: Mon, 15 Oct 2018 13:49:58 +1100

This makes __prombss its own section, and for now store
it in .bss.

This will give us the ability later to store it elsewhere
and/or free it after boot (it's about 8KB).
