Please explain the use case and why it is needed. There are two
user-changeable variables used by modules_install:
INSTALL_MOD_PATH - prepended to /lib/modules/..., to allow installation
to a staging directory by non-root
INSTALL_MOD_DIR - for out-of-tree modules; specifies the subdirectory
of /lib/modules/.../ to put the modules under
(default: "extra").
The hierarchy used in the source tree is reflected under
/lib/modules/.../extra, but that should not be an issue.
