Please create a single .gitignore for all targets right under
tools/testing/selftests/powerpc instead of multiple .gitignore
files.

Why? Having separate files makes it less likely we'll get merge conflicts
between different test subdirectores, it also makes it more likely someone
adding a test will notice they need to update the .gitignore in the same
directory.

Hey Michael,

I had already posted a similar patch in this regard along with the ptrace
patches last month. Thats why I mentioned in the cover letter that
gitignore updates for all these tests will come from that patch series
instead of from this one.
