Subject: [PATCH v3] depmod: Handle installing modules under a prefix
Date:   Fri, 14 Jul 2023 14:21:08 +0200

Some distributions aim at not shipping any files in / outside of usr.

The path under which kernel modules are installed is hardcoded to /lib
which conflicts with this goal.

When kmod provides the config command, use it to determine the correct
module installation prefix.

This is a prefix under which the modules are searched by kmod on the
system, and is separate from the temporary staging location already
supported by INSTALL_MOD_PATH.

With kmod that does not provide the config command empty prefix is used
as before.

v2: Avoid error on systems with kmod that does not support config
command
