[PATCH 01/22] Arm: drop .bss override

[Jan Beulich <jbeulich@suse.com>]

The comment looks bogus (perhaps simply stale), and there are also no
other precautions against subsections being used on ELF with .bss. It
also doesn't look to be a good idea to override the custom handlers that
ELF and COFF have (afaict doing so further broke .previous on ELF).
