I agree. This is one of the reasons I didn't make libgetcwd.so install
into /lib. I will (as I have already said) consider making a separate
target for installation into /lib/modules. Personally, I don't really
see why it would be better to have xfs.o there, but as a separate
target, it will hopefully hurt noone.
