Hi there.

Just a small bugfix relating to the top level makefile in Linux
kernels: If one wishes for some reason to redirect the results of
`make modules_install` to a non-standard root, the current setup
requires one to always specify the full path to the target directory,
as relative paths get implemented relative to the wrong directory. The
enclosed patch fixes this.

Best wishes from Riley.
