Subject: [PATCH kmod v5 5/5] libkmod, depmod, modprobe: Make directory for kernel modules configurable

Now that modprobe.d is searched under ${prefix}/lib, allow a complete
transition to files only under ${prefix} by adding a ${module_directory}
configuration. This specifies the directory where to search for kernel
modules and should match the location where the kernel/distro installs
them.

With this distributions that do not want to ship files in /lib can also
move kernel modules to /usr while others can keep them in /lib.

why didn't you change it here?

Otherwise looks good to me.

Pushed the first 4 patches.

$ ./configure --prefix=/usr --bindir=../bin
configure: error: expected an absolute directory name for --bindir: ../bin

While such check does not exist for --with-module-directory, everyone
has likely been well-trained not to use relative paths. Even if, say,
cmake/meson *could* do it, it just would have never occurred to me to
actually *utilize* it, because it is just too ambiguous and
potentially dangerous.

Just think of all the fun you could have with LD_LIBRARY_PATH=".."
