The default system module area path
Currently, we install kernel modules under the following path
/stand/<arch>/<release>/<name>/<name>.kmod
The duplication of the name probabably was meant to prevent escaping the
path when a module name like ../../../foo was given on the commandline.
I recently changed the module loading behaviour so that a module that is
loaded from the default system module area must not, and can not,
contain a path separator character.
Therefore I suggest that we install modules into
/stand/<arch>/<release>/<name>.kmod
