[YBA] diff'ing kernel source trees

Hi Linux-IL colleagues,
To diff two kernel trees based on the same version from the mainline, one 
of which might have been built, I assume that doing "make clean" in the 
tree that was built and then recursively diff'ing each

.c
.h
.S
.sh
.pl
*defconfig
Makefile
Kconfig

is sufficient. Are there other files I should diff? Is there a list 
or regex in any of the FAQ's that has this specification?

I tried the recommended "diff -Naur -X ./Documentation/dontdiff" 
but it still diff'ed a lot of binaries.
