like that? Would be good to have meaningful name before it gets used widely.

/kernel?

Prior art:

Solaris:                        /kernel,
Linux (OpenSuSE 10.2 here):     /lib/modules/$(uname -r)

I don't know about other systems, but checking on FreeBSD and Mac OS X may be worthwhile.

My gut feeling tells me that to support easy switching/testing of kernels, the kernel version should be in the path.
