kbuild: support include/generated
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.
