    xen/arm: Skip initializing the BSS section when it is empty
    
    If the BSS section is empty, then the function should return.
    If one does not check whether the BSS section is empty or not, then there 
is a
    risk of writing 0s outside of BSS section (which may contain critical data).

day code")
