/sys/compile/KERNCONF/Makefile already creates modules.old/ (which I
always rename with kernel.old) but at boot you need to do "unload" to
unload old (new) modules and then, I guess, set that module_path (?).
Then after booting, or better (?), near start of /etc/rc, do something
with kldconfig(8). I haven't had enough need for it to figure it out
yet.
