kbuild: doc: remove the description about shipped files

The use of shipped files is discouraged in the upstream kernel these
days. [1]

Downstream Makefiles have the freedom to use shipped files or other
options to handle binaries, but this should not be advertised in the
upstream document.

 	The split in example 2 is questionable due to the simplicity of
 	each file; however, some external modules use makefiles
 	consisting of several hundred lines, and here it really pays
 	off to separate the kbuild part from the rest.
 
-Binary Blobs
-------------
-
-	Some external modules need to include an object file as a blob.
-	kbuild has support for this, but requires the blob file to be
-	named <filename>_shipped. When the kbuild rules kick in, a copy
-	of <filename>_shipped is created with _shipped stripped off,
-	giving us <filename>. This shortened filename can be used in
-	the assignment to the module.
-
-	Throughout this section, 8123_bin.o_shipped has been used to
-	build the kernel module 8123.ko; it has been included as
-	8123_bin.o::
-
-		8123-y := 8123_if.o 8123_pci.o 8123_bin.o
-
-	Although there is no distinction between the ordinary source
-	files and the binary file, kbuild will pick up different rules
-	when creating the object file for the module.
