Hi,

That's not quite what I suggested:

I didn't recommend any particular directory since like said, I'm not 
aware of the recommended practise there, but almost certainly you dont 
want to litter the extra/ "root" with arbitrary modules.
Something like /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/extra/drivers/dpdk/ should be 
closer to the mark at least.
