linux-initrd: Store Linux modules in a normal store directory.
* gnu/system/linux-initrd.scm (expression->initrd): Remove #:linux and #:linux-modules parameters. Remove call to 'float-linux-module-directory'. (base-initrd): Add call to 'float-linux-module-directory'. Use it in #:linux-modules argument in the gexp. Remove #:linux and #:linux-modules arguments to 'expression->initrd'. * gnu/build/linux-initrd.scm (build-initrd): Remove #:linux-module-directory parameter. Don't create 'modules' sub-directory. * gnu/build/linux-boot.scm (boot-system): Mentin that LINUX-MODULES is a list of absolute file names. Don't prepend "/modules/" to LINUX-MODULES. * doc/guix.texi (Initial RAM Disk): Adjust accordingly.
