Subject: [PATCH] Kernel: Zero out .bss contents on aarch64

After building and running

     objcopy -O binary Build/aarch64/Kernel/Prekernel/Prekernel \
                       /media/sdcard/kernel8.img

things start booting on an actual RPi4 :^)

(Assuming the sdcard contains RPi firmware, an empty config.txt,
and no other kernel*.img files).
