PV guests need to have their .bss zeroed out since it is not guaranteed
to be cleared by Xen's domain builder (even if it is done so currently)

v4:
* Better use of mode-selecting macros.
* Drop stable tag.
* Update commit message for patch 1.

Boris Ostrovsky (2):
  xen/x86: Zero out .bss for PV guests
  xen/x86: Drop mode-selecting ifdefs in startup_xen()
