[PATCH] [KBUILD] fix external module install path

From: Eric Sandeen
Date: Mon May 07 2007 - 17:40:46 EST


Installing external modules is supposed to put them in some path
under /lib/modules/<version>/extra/subdir/, but this change:
http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.6/?PAGE=cset&REV=1.1982.9.23
makes them go under /lib/modules/<version>/extrasubdir

(for example, make M=fs/ext3 modules_install puts ext3.ko in
/lib/modules/<version>/extrafs/ext3.ko)
