b9e51f8ce9 Linux v4.9-rc3
- Update remove-binary-diff.pl to remove git binary patches as well. Git binary
patches can be applied but the spec file needs to be updated to support this.

523d987dc7 Add script to remove binary diffs
Once upon a time, the kernel was just a series of patches. These days,
git manages most of the kernel. git can do many useful things, such as
maintain binary files. Binary file changes are not easily expressed in
patches and can't be applied without using git. Remove the binary diffs
from any snapshot or -rc patches. We will eventually pick up the
changes/deletions in the final release tarball.
