[PATCH] install kvm modules into drivers/kvm

This patch installs kvm modules into drivers/kvm directory rather than in extra/

Without this patch, I got a problem: after installing kvm (got from
git repo), modprobe always found and picked kvm modules in drivers/kvm
(ie old modules) instead the new ones (in extra/). This confuses me
for sometime because the old modules (which is available in 2.6.20) is
not supported by the current libkvm.

I'm not sure about this.  While the problem is very real (in fact, I've 
been bitten by it too), overwriting somebody else's files seems wrong.  
For example, now you can't uninstall kvm and get back the original modules.
