  Log:
  Clear the BSS earlier in the boot sequence and clean up the comments.  This
  will allow us to not have to worry about .data vs .bss globals in the future
  (especially since gcc 3.x 'optimizes' things like (global) int x = 0 -> bss).
  Also note that many boot loaders do not clear the bss.
