Maybe its just my local config for ls, but this has small
problem has been bugging me ever since I started using
modules. Despite being sent to a file, my ls still formats
in multi column mode (contary to the manpage and the way its
_supposed_ to work). This causes ALL modules to be installed
in /lib/modules/<version>/misc :-(. Here is a (very) small
patch to the main kernel Makefile to fix it. The patch
is against the Makefile from 1.3.72.
