Latest kernel/module restructuring

With the latest kernel/module restructuring, the kernel is now installed as /boot/kernel/kernel.ko. So, basically, if one opts to _not_ build modules w/kernel as per /etc/make.conf, no modules are installed in /boot/kernel other than the kernel itself, kernel.ko. This means that various modules
