Actually, my "much simplified modules-install" is a bit broken.

It worked for me last time (I'm running that kernel and modules now),
but I  just triggered a

  INSTALL Documentation/connector/cn_test.ko
  Can't read Signer name

error.

My patch is broken, and I simplified a bit *too* much. In particular
the .signer and .keyid logic got thrown out with the bathwater.

I just hadn't noticed until I did a "git clean", because the old
signer/keyid files had stayed around, hiding the breakage.

I'll send out a fixed patch asap,
