Also the quoted text (below the post) is history. It is only there as reference of the conversation, while what is at the top is the current trend. I will bottom-post from now on since I'm assuming that's what the Arch community uses. as reference of the conversation, while what is at the top is the current trend.

Maybe you could lower the location by one and noe touch it if its a minor revision. /lib/modules/<kernel>/ /lib/extramodules/<kernel>/ There may also be a symlink from the extramodule dir to the corresponding kernel in the modules dir to connect them together.
