it will choose the arch that is best for your platform. If your system
is an i686 and you've installed a i586 kernel then it will probably
choose i686 for the modules. If it's an actual i586 and archscores that
way then it will install the right modules for your arch.

in short, it will try to do the right thing, but there are ways the user
can make the right thing very, very difficult to do.  :)
