Ok, that works, although it does a lot more work than I wished ;).  I
suppose it has to go through the enter build process to build all the
dependencies.  Nice if I could just rebuild the usb modules.

It also seems to *replace* the existing modules tree, because after make
modules_install I couldn't start X because I didn't have the nvidia kernel
module any more (no big deal, just make install the nvidia kernel package
again).

Thanks,
