you resubmit it). Look at other patches on the list for examples. And you
should send the patch with git send-email or similar, so that whitespace is
retained and we can comment in-line.

I have a use case for this.  In Microblaze builds, it would be nice to
generate optimal cflags from the dts/mhs for use in all software.  This
could be accomplished by a pre script.
