Field G. Van Zee 25eee3cc49 Added a dummy file to kernels/generic.
Details:
- Added a dummy file to kernels/generic, which was previously empty, so
  that git would begin tracking the otherwise-empty directory. This
  directory's existence is necessary for proper execution of configure
  for any configuration family that contains the 'generic'
  sub-configuration. Thanks to Johannes Dieterich for reporting the
  issue that led to this fix.

generic.txt
-----------
This file in 'kernels/generic' exists only to force 'git' to track what
would otherwise be an empty directory. Having this empty directory is
necessary because the 'generic' singleton family is defined in the
configuration registry as:
generic: generic
which implies that the 'generic' sub-configuration depends on the
'generic' kernel set (because there were no complementary kernel sets
specified via '/'). Thus, we need there to be a kernel set named
'generic', but we don't actually refer to any such kernels in BLIS.
In other words, this file is simply a workaround to a quirk in the
syntax and semantics of the config_registry file.
