At BSDcon we agreed that (1) the modules need to be built in a subdir
of the kernel build dir; (2) they should be installed somewhere where
their name matches the kernel name [/modules-kernel,
/modules-kernel.old] for instance. The mechanism for finding modules
files was never fully flushed out.
I've had local changes to do the modules build as part of the kernel
build for many months, but I wasn't happy with their cleanliness. I'm not
against the principle. Think of my email as more of a bdelinting.

The ability to use a read-only /usr/src has been our charter for a long
time. We cannot break that. Also the release build is(was) taring up
the .o's in the ssys distribution.
