Hey Shush,

I see what you are concerning...

I didn't do that because this patch set is simple, and not technical specific for
their subsystems. I just to make the code obey the generic *RULE*.
- binary files generated by kbuild should be in .gitignore
- test result also should be in .gitignore and cleaned by make clean
- temporary file should be cleaned after test finished.


Anyway, I will separate them per their subsystems later as your suggestion.

Thanks
Zhijian
