I think adding of generated object to .gitignore is not needed because
/tools/testing/selftests/kvm/.gitignore uses pattern matching to exclude
everything except .c, .h, .S, and .sh files from Git, which was committed
via below commit.

commit 43e96957e8b87bad8e4ba666750ff0cda9e03ffb
KVM: selftests: Use pattern matching in .gitignore
