[U-Boot] [PATCH v1 1/7] MIPS: u-boot.lds: merge all BSS sections and introduce symbols __bss_[start|end]

[daniel.schwierzeck at gmail.com <daniel.schwierzeck@gmail.com>]

From: Daniel Schwierzeck <daniel.schwierzeck@gmail.com>

These symbols are used in later patches for as addresses for
clearing the BSS area in the relocated U-Boot image.
