We need a location for generated files.
Today they are spread over several places and bringing them
together to a common place makes it obvious hat is generated
and what isreal files.
Al Viro originally suggested: include/gen
Linus suggested to spell it out.
This patch implement support for
include/generated
All files in include/generated are ignored by git.
include/generated is removed during "make mrproper".
With this we are ready to implement support for include/generated
in the various architctures and in the base kernel.

Removed vmlinux* rule because it matches too many useful files, replacing
it with rules matching filetype by filename (e.g. *.gz). Also unignored
.mailmap from the top directory. Added a comment telling the user how to
check for tracked files being ignored.

Sometimes I got this:
$ git-status
{snip}
# On branch master
# Untracked files:
# (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
#
# ncscope.out
nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add"
to track)
Fix it.

With commit 3f1b0e1f28 ".gitignore update"
Linus's current git tree starts to ignore any "*.rej" files.
So "git status" no longer shows these files, but the ones who works with
quilt patchsets, this not makes life easier as expected.
Because sometimes a work flow (at least for me) requires
"quilt push -f" followed by "git status" to see unresolved merge
conflicts, work on these conflicts to correct them and finalize
the patch with "quilt refresh".
And if there are some "*.rej" files exists in tree, for whatever
reason, this means something goes really wrong there and i think
this situation not deserves to be ignored.

Somehow I ended up with the following in tree:

# net/ipv4/tcp_minisocks.o.geCDYR
These are presumably temporary gcc files, which aren't interesting.

We ignore all the generated files called "vmlinux*" from the top-level
gitignore, but that also ends up catching a few files that we track, and
that people do edit. Notably the "vmlinux.lds.S" file, that each
architecture has.
You can always use "git add -f" to override the ignore file, but we
might as well just make it explicit for this file.

headers_install by default puts headers into usr/include/ .
They're auto-generated, so should be ignored.
Same for *.orig, *.rej .

This still leaves driver and architecture-specific subdirectories alone,
