Module versions doesn't affect where the modules are located in the filesystem -- module versions just mangle the symbols names, similar to C++ symbol mangling, in an attempt to supply some extra type safety when trying to use modules with differently-versioned kernels. I'm not sure that module versioning is a good idea. The safety supplied by the symbol mangling is not very strong. So I wouldn't suggest relying on it to provide kernel-independence. -- Too bad life doesn't have a :q! command.
