Thanks for the explanation.  Can you update the script so that it
inserts a comment explaining how the file was generated into it?

Also to satisfy the GPL you need to include a copy of aesbs-core.pl in
the kernel tree.  I only did a quick find -name aesbs-core.pl that
didn't find any results, so if it's named slightly differently feel
free to discard this second comment.
