Yes, please don't create files called '*.i", "*.s" or "*.o".  We
assume they are generated files (the result of the preprocessor, the
compiler, and the assembler respectively).

And yeah, obviously "*.i" and "*.s" and not _usually_ seen, because
they are only steps on the way to "*.o", so maybe they aren't _quite_
as obvious as some "*.o" file would be, but they are very much
standard naming, and we have build rules for them (ie "make
kernel/exit.i" will create the pre-processed result of exit.c).
