sed arguments must be quoted, otherwise backslashes are removed by the
shell:
  $ x=$(echo xxx.ko | sed s/\.o$//)
  $ echo $x
  xxx.
  $ x=$(echo xxx.ko | sed s/\.o$// | sed s/\.ko$//)
  $ echo $x
  xxx.
  $ x=$(echo xxx.ko | sed 's/\.o$//')
  $ echo $x
  xxx.ko
  $ x=$(echo xxx.ko | sed 's/\.o$//' | sed 's/\.ko$//')
  $ echo $x
  xxx
