As the core-updates branch is frozen right now, could you submit this
patch as a 'kmod/next' variable?  See e.g. 'help2man/latest' or
'automake-1.16.2' for inspiration.

After the core-updates merge, we can do a larger 'staging' round that
updates the default 'kmod'.

I wonder if we should patch eudev to use
/run/current-system/profile/bin/ instead of /gnu/store/...kmod/bin so
that we can update kmod without triggering a huge rebuild.
