I'm not sure whether distclean should remove those, since they can be
externally supplied, or whether x509.genkey should have a Makefile dependency
on kernel/Makefile.

I lean towards 'yes' when I'm altering kernel/Makefile trying to get things
right, and 'no' when I'm doing a make distclean to change my config or
changing kernel/Makefile for some unrelated reason.
