As kernel-misc, I've fixed them all up. |

I think we should examine dropping virtual/modutils from system. |

It'll be on most systems anyway however. It's needed to build any |
| 14 |
kernel, so the only place where it won't be would be a system with a |
| 15 |
monolithic kernel that was built on a different host and copied over or |
| 16 |
used for booting without being on the filesystem (common in VMs). |
