Somehow I ended up with the following in tree:

	$ git status
		...
	# Untracked files:
	#   (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
	#
	#       fs/proc/root.o.FuMxJQ
	#       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 .

Prevent git from reporting this useless status:

	On branch refs/heads/master
	Untracked files:
	  (use "git add" to add to commit)

	      TAGS
	      scripts/kconfig/lkc_defs.h
	      scripts/kconfig/qconf.moc
	nothing to commit

The kernel build system supports making symbol type files (*.symtypes) from C
source files.  Add these files to .gitignore.

StGit genreates patches-* when you run stg export command.
It makes no sense to show such directories as changes on git status.

This still leaves driver and architecture-specific subdirectories alone,
but gets rid of the bulk of the "generic" generated files that we should
ignore.
