I guess I don't see any reason to plunk files down into /lib/modules something, which might even be on a read-only fs, by *default*. As long as insmod has a command-line option to specify where the file goes, and modprobe has a config option, let's not write out those files by default at all. Better to specify to ksymoops where the files are kept (if you normally specify it to insmod) or simply let ksymoops check a config file (possibly modprobe's). YMMV....
