These are just from where the modules were built by hand, for example:
# cd /sys/modules/agp ; make
You can safely remove these files. In fact, you can just do something
like this:
# cd /sys/modules/agp
# make cleandir ; make cleandir
# cd ../if_tap
# make cleandir ; make cleandir
# cd ../netgraph/ether
# make cleandir ; make cleandir
to clean all of them out.
