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.
