These reserved lanes are similar to the reserved bus lanes we have in
Québec.  They haven't been tagged yet anywhere.  

If we look at Map Features, it appears that
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:psv is the right tagging to use,
but this is for a whole way, not lanes.  I don't think that adding a
separate way just for the Olympic lane is a solution.  You might want to
take this discussion one level up.

A quick check in UK, the tag watch reveals a total of 4 ways tagged with
"bus_name=yes" or "buslane=yes".  This needs to be discussed :)
