Edit the Makefile in your kernel source directory. The third line should
say SUBLEVEL = <something>. If you add to this tag, it will be reflected
in the directory that the modules are installed to.
After booting with the new kernel, you will also want to change to the
new modules directory and run the command:
cat /proc/version > .rhkmvtag
This will let the boot scripts make the correct symlinks for the modules
the next time you reboot. You may also have to make a symlink in the
/lib/modules directory the first time you boot linking preferred to
the correct modules directory. (The .rhkmvtag file lets the boot scripts
make this symlink automatic...)
