Splitting this up into two threads.

Could we extend this to drm headers again too? Sad thrombones indeed, but
at least here we could still the proper fanfares ... Maybe something like
have the Makefile snippet in drivers/gpu and then keep a list of
directories (or file glob patterns probably better) in there that it
should check.

I really liked this entire idea very much.

Oh also maybe switch the temp files over to dotfiles, so Linus doesn't get
upset (which really I think is all  that Linus expected, but I guess
people just panic and revert).
