Comment # 3 on bug 1212835 from Michal Suchanek

Patching the Linus three is probably premature.

The question is *how* to patch it.

I suppose using some PREFIX or INSTALL_PREFIX variable would be desirable (what
does perf use, or does it support installation at all?) but even then current
kmod upstream would only work with the variable unset.

We have a downstream kmod patch changing the hardcoded path, and using both
would be problematic. Currently a module relative path as stored in modules.dep
and elsewhere corresponds to exactly one file location, using multiple paths
would break that.
