"outside".

The path under which kernel modules are instaleld is hardcoded to /lib

"installed"

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.

Can you spice it with more commas? While the text is understandable after a while of staring, it's hard to parse.

Like:

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





I would also argue here in the commit log on what Masahiro already pointed out. I.e. that INSTALL_MOD_PATH is useless in this case and why.
