The aic7xxx maintainer keeps trying to break the kernel build system,
introducing special cases just to support his broken makefiles. At the
same time he refuses to listen to suggestions for doing it correctly.
This is unacceptable, and will not work in kbuild 2.5. The module
install structure is an exact match for the kernel source structure,
with no need to install modules elsewhere. modutils >= 2.3.12 takes
care of the correct hierarchy, mkinitrd has no problem with the correct
tree.
