Log:
  Change the default installation directory for modules to /boot/modules.
  
  Kernel installs always override KMODDIR when installing modules, so
  this default setting is only used for standalone module builds.  Many
  out-of-tree modules manually override KMODDIR already to avoid placing
  modules in /boot/kernel.  This now makes that behavior the default.
