We will move the CPU feature overrides into BSS in a subsequent patch, and this requires that BSS is zeroed before the feature override detection code runs. So let's map BSS read-write in the ID map, and zero it via this mapping. Since the kernel page tables are right next to it, and also zeroed via the ID map, let's drop the separate clear_page_tables() function, and just zero everything in one go.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
