Yes, I tried it with a out-of-tree build and it worked. More
specifically, because .h file (e.g. x86-a-b-bootblock.h) is provided,
this Makefile is disjoint from the main build system and it has to be
invoked explicitly. So it won't be affected by out-of-tree build.

It is cleaner, I agree. But it will make the Makefile quite bulky
(remember that we have to do the same for aarch64 and others).
