The /tmp/kernel/lib/modules directory should have a directory
2.2.16-22TMP that is the complete module tree. The complere
2.2.16-22TMP tree gets moved to /lib/modules/2.2.16-22TMP on the target
system.
This directory tree is created by the combination of:
export INSTALL_MOD_PATH=/tmp/kernel
make modules_install
The first command sets the root of where to install the modules, and the
second actualy installs the modules in
<root>/lib/modules/<kernel version>
If you do not set "INSTALL_MOD_PATH", then the modules are installed in
/lib/modules/<kernel version>.

You can untar the file any where you want, and move the contence of
tmp/kernel/boot to /boot, and the contence of /tmp/kernel/lib/modules to
/lib/modules.
You can also modify how you create the .tgz file:
cd /tmp/kernel
tar czvf termel.tgz ./
Then you can untar it in /, and it will put everything in the correct
place.
