'Entering directory xyz ... nothing to do for modules xyz' is a message 
occuring frequently during 'make modules' since make sniffs into various 
branches.

As stated by others, modules usually are loaded only when requested ( that's 
the sense of the stroy, isn't it ?) so you have to look somewhere to settle 
this down. Maybe /etc/modules (for Debian, first look into /etc/modutils).
