Thanks Mike, I actually have another patch like this. I was first a bit
nervous about using non hard code, but then perhaps it's OK. I my patch
actually checked the main paths first before choosing the "lsmod". But
maybe that would be the better solution, since it would allow someone to
choose their own lsmod.

Thanks!
