I have updated dontdiff in the usual place:

Btw, what about putting this somewhere in the kernel tree?
I do not like dontdiff to be part of the kernel tree.
What is included in dontdiff is redundant information already known
by kbuild. Effectively dontdiff should not list any files that would
not be removed during a "make mrproper".
This is not exactly true.
dontdiff must know about many things that 'make mrproper' need not care
about:
files with ".bak" suffix
files with "~" suffix
BitKeeper, CVS, RCS, SCCS directories
etc.
