At the top of the kernel Makefile, you'll find some lines that look like
this:
VERSION = 2
PATCHLEVEL = 2
SUBLEVEL = 13
EXTRAVERSION =
These values get stuck together and determine, among other things, the
name of the modules directory. You could change EXTRAVERSION:
EXTRAVERSION = test
Which would result in a kernel version of "2.2.13test" and a modules
directory of /lib/modules/2.2.13test.
