Please forgive me if this is a stupid question, but...

Why is it that modload is located in /sbin, yet the supplied lkm's are 
all located in /usr/lkm?  It seems to me that if modload is in /sbin, 
someone must have realized that non-root files systems, like /usr, might 
not yet be available.  Yet the supplied lkm's are, for the most part, 
file systems code which might well be needed before being able to mount 
/usr! 

Perhaps there should really be two places to put lkm's, /lkm in addition 
to /usr/lkm?
