[PATCH 1/2] vmlinux.lds.h: Allow architectures to add sections to the front of .bss

[David Daney]

From: David Daney <david.daney@xxxxxxxxxx>

Follow-on MIPS patch will put an object here that needs 64K alignment
to minimize padding.

For those architectures that don't define BSS_FIRST_SECTIONS, there is
no change.
