Just in the build tree.
You need to be root to install the modules in /lib/modules using "make
modules_install", but everything else can be done as a normal user. If
you want to have them installed somewhere else, you don't need to be
root, btw, "make INSTALL_MOD_PATH=/tmp modules_install" will install
the modules in /tmp/lib/modules .
