Subject: [PATCH] depmod: Handle installing modules under a prefix
References: bsc#1212835
Patch-mainline: Never, upstream rejected
Some distributions aim at shipping all files in /usr.
The path under which kernel modules are installed is hardcoded to /lib
which conflicts with this goal.
When kmod provides the config command, use it to determine the correct
module installation path.
With kmod that does not provide the config command /lib/modules is used
as before.
Note: users can use
make MODLIB='$(INSTALL_MOD_PATH)/usr/lib/modules/$(KERNELRELEASE)'
to install modules from mainline kernel on usrmerged system.
Not great for KMPs, though
