Git shows the following untracked files

	tools/objtool/FEATURE-DUMP.objtool
	tools/objtool/arch/x86/lib/
	tools/objtool/feature/

so tools/objtool/.gitignore needs an update.

If you update .gitignore for the relevant patches, and fix the typos I
pointed out, I think we can go ahead and merge this thing.
