Sure, that'd be great as well.  I'm pretty sure that smatch outputs
these files from whatever directory you run from, that's why I did the
overall pattern rather than a path pattern.

Should we just patch smatch to not output trinity* files and output to
a directory and change this patch to mask out the directory?
