Subject: [PATCH 1/5] mandate defined build cmd and source ref for _shipped
	files


mandate defined build cmd and source ref for _shipped files

Currently shipped files have more or less free style indications
of how to generate them respectively what the sources are, in
their header. Mandating defined tags and keywords would allow
for automated checking.

This patch is against 3.18.0-rc6
