I'm not sure that's a good idea.  This has found problems quickly in
NetBSD and also in my pccarddevs stuff when I broke things w/o doing
the followup commit.  There have been instances in NetBSD where
failure to follow this proceedure caused the old file to be committed,
with the new entries not in the generated file.

However, I now have some motivation to look into this problem in the
form of an open PR owned by me :-)  The issues that bruce and I raise
are easy enough to fix, but it will take a little bit of grunt to make
sure that all the ways the kernel build process happens work.
