Some distributions aim at not shipping any files in / ustside of usr.

The path under which kernel modules are instaleld is hardcoded to /lib
which conflicts with this goal.

When kmod provides the config command use it to determine the correct
module installation prefix.

On kmod that does not provide the command / is used as before.

I think you should pipe kmod's 2> /dev/null to support older kmod. Ah, but you'd need 2> /dev/null for jq too. That would not be good as jq might not be installed and a user wouldn't see the error. So instead, I would do:

$(shell kmod config &> /dev/null && kmod config | jq -r .module_prefix)
