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.
