powerpc/prom_init: Move __prombss to it's own section and store it in .bss
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). Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>
