I'm not talking about out-of-tree modules at all, I'm talking about the kmod-* packages in the base repo. I want to provide an own opkg repo with the same kernel modules, but built for a customized kernel. As these modules' ABI depends on the kernel configuration (and thus the kernel configuration is included in the version number as "vermagic"), I need to provide the kernel modules built matching my configuration. As far as I know there's no way to tell opkg to prefer the modules from my repo, regardless of the version number, so I'm asking for a base repo without any kmod-* packages.
