Kernel: Move kmalloc heaps and super pages inside .bss segment

Browse source 
The kernel ignored the first 8 MiB of RAM while parsing the memory map
because the kmalloc heaps and the super physical pages lived here. Move
all that stuff inside the .bss segment so that those memory regions are
accounted for, otherwise we risk overwriting boot modules placed next
to the kernel.
