x86: cleanup boot-heap usage
The kernel decompressor wrapper uses memory located beyond the end of the image. This might lead to hard to debug problems, but even if it can be proven to be safe, it is at the very least unclean. I don't see any advantages either, unless you count it not being zeroed out as an advantage. This patch moves the boot-heap area to the bss segment.
