Masahiro Yamada 975667d02d kbuild: rpm-pkg: rename binkernel.spec to kernel.spec
Now kernel.spec and binkernel.spec have the exactly same contents.

Use kernel.spec for binrpm-pkg as well.

When you move, remove or rename generated files, you probably also update

.gitignore and cleaning rules in the Makefile. This is the right thing

to do. However, people usually do 'git pull', 'git bisect', etc. without

running 'make clean'. Then, the stale generated files are left over, often

causing build issues.

Also, 'git status' shows such stale build artifacts as untracked files.

What is worse, some people send a wrong patch to get them back to .gitignore

without checking the commit history.

So, when you (re)move generated files, please move the cleaning rules from

the Makefile to this script. This is run before Kbuild starts building

anything, so people will not be annoyed by such garbage files.

This script is not intended to grow endlessly. Rather, it is a temporary scrap

yard. Stale files stay in this file for a while (for some release cycles?),

then will be really dead and removed from the code base entirely.
