The initial patch: 11ff40fa7bb5fdcc69a58d0fec49c904ffca4793
"xen/xsplice: Hypervisor implementation of XEN_XSPLICE_op" caps the
size of the binary at 2MB. We follow that in capping the size
of the .BSSes to be at maximum 2MB.

v5: Initial submission. Came about from conversation about
    "livepatch: Clear .bss when payload is reverted"
   - Use only one sh_flags comparison instead of two.
   - And check for the _right_ combination (WA).
