How about having the file just contain a single line

#include <generated-qemu-arm.dts>

... where this generated-*.dts is not checked to the source tree. Then 
of course comments on how to generate it via qemu -dumpdtb + dtc, with 
appropriate precautions (ie. must be regenerated if qemu command line is 
changed or qemu is upgraded), intended use case, and so forth.
