Or we can add more exceptions to our tooling to recognize the files as 
generated.  The scripts/clean-includes script knows to leave certain 
files alone, so add your files to that list.

I'm less certain of whether our Coccinelle scripts have easy ways to 
exclude specific files.  We already have scripts/cocci-macro-file.h to 
help Coccinelle not choke on some our existing files, but I'm not sure 
if Coccinelle has a config-file like way that is easy to maintain as a 
data file in-tree for blacklist files to leave alone (right now, when I 
run Coccinelle, I have to manually remember to pass a long command line 
cribbed out of the commit message of an earlier run to pick up things 
like cocci-macro-file.h, instead of an easy formula that points to a 
single config file to pull in all the usual options).
