1.3.24: modules_install and depmod problem

A couple small problems with 1.3.24...

I like the new y/n/m system. Aside from ease of use, it lets you know
right up front which capabilities have been modularized. Anyway, I
used the new system and picked out a kernel with just enough to boot
(CONFIG_SCSI_NCR53C7xx, ext2) and loaded other stuff as modules:
cdu31a, floppy, filesystems, ppp, lp, smc-ultra, binfmt_elf.

First problem: When I rebooted and ran '/sbin/depmod -a' from rc.S,
it complained about an unresolved symbol _dump_fpu.

Second problem: 'make modules_install' put binfmt_elf.o in
/lib/modules/1.3.24/fs, and put all the other filesystems in
/lib/modules/1.3.24/misc. Just for organization's sake I think we
should throw msdos, isofs, nfs, and the others into
/lib/modules/1.3.24/fs...
