+Fix generate-keynames.sh script for cross-compilation
+
+generate-keynames.sh reads /usr/include/linux to find the keyname
+symbols. However, when cross-compiling, the include path points
+somewhere else. Allow the user to pass CROSS_ROOT to point to the
+root of the cross-compilation environment.
