Right.  I think we need to use different names for generated vs supplied
files, then, because 'distclean' really must delete generated files.

But it turns out you do try to clean these files, it just doesn't work.
See below.  I've applied this, as well, to my tree:

        git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rusty/linux.git modules-next

BTW, you missed a Signed-off-by: on your "MODSIGN: Use the same digest
for the autogen key sig as for the module sig" patch.  Please update.

Cheers,
Rusty.

Subject: [PATCH] MODSIGN: Make mrproper should remove generated files.

It doesn't, because the clean targets don't include kernel/Makefile, and
because two files were missing from the list.
