Why are the kernel modules located in /usr? Why does KMODDIR default to
/usr/lkm?
It seems like /lkm would be better.
Is it a disk space issue?
It may be useful to use /lkm in the event that kernel modules are needed
before /usr is (or can be) mounted.
I bring this up based on work-arounds needed to use pf kernel module as
discussed on current-users.
Please carbon-copy me on replies.
