If the kernel was installed with pacman, then change the PKGBUILD to install it into /usr/lib and rebuild the package. If you installed directly into /lib/modules, that means that no package owns the modules, so you can just move them manually to /usr/lib/modules and everything will be ok (this is what I did on my machine with a custom kernel). -t
