I think I remember that ... but I can't find it in the e-mail
archives. vmlinux.lds
needs to be added to .gitignore

Sam said in reply to a similar question:

 asm-offsets.h is a generated file and I wanted to avoid adding
 generated files to arch/$ARCH/include.

 It was also a less intrusive patch to keep it at the old location.
 But I recall that it troubles me a bit before I got it
 correct but the kbuild changes all take care of this.

So this is currently correct ... but it sounds like it may change if
someone comes up with a better idea for where generated header
files should go.
