guix-play/gnu/packages/patches/kmod-module-directory.patch

This patch changes libkmod so it honors the 'LINUX_MODULE_DIRECTORY'
environment variable, rather than looking for modules exclusively in
/lib/modules.

Patch by Shea Levy and Eelco Dolstra, from Nixpkgs; adjusted to
use 'LINUX_MODULE_DIRECTORY' rather than 'MODULE_DIR' as the variable
name.
