Fix lguest bzImage loading with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y

Browse source 
Jason Yeh sent his crashing .config: bzImages made with
CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y put the relocs where the BSS is expected, and we
crash with unusual results such as:

	lguest: unhandled trap 14 at 0xc0122ae1 (0xa9)

Relying on BSS being zero was merely laziness on my part, and
unfortunately, lguest doesn't go through the normal startup path (which
does this in asm).
