One more thing:

Please add '*.ll' pattern to the following clean target.


clean: $(clean-dirs)
        $(call cmd,rmdirs)
        $(call cmd,rmfiles)
        @find $(if $(KBUILD_EXTMOD), $(KBUILD_EXTMOD), .) $(RCS_FIND_IGNORE) \
                \( -name '*.[oas]' -o -name '*.ko' -o -name '.*.cmd' \
                -o -name '*.ko.*' \
                -o -name '*.dwo'  \
                -o -name '*.su'  \
                -o -name '.*.d' -o -name '.*.tmp' -o -name '*.mod.c' \
                -o -name '*.symtypes' -o -name 'modules.order' \
                -o -name modules.builtin -o -name '.tmp_*.o.*' \
                -o -name '*.c.[012]*.*' \
                -o -name '*.gcno' \) -type f -print | xargs rm -f
