Subject[PATCH] modules_install
	Hi Linus,

`make modules_install' creates some temporary files inside the kernel source
directory. However, if that directory is imported using NFS in the recommended
and secure way, root is not allowed to create files there. This patch solves
that problem by creating the temporary files in /tmp.
