kernel module path mismatch with uname -r

[Fu Wei]

When I try to test the latest vexpress64-leg-sd.img.gz, I met a error :

https://staging.validation.linaro.org/scheduler/job/45097/log_file#L_67_0

Then I started the FM manually with vexpress64-leg-sd.img.gz :

root@genericarmv8:~# ls -l /lib/modules/
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Mar 30 2014 3.14.0-1-linaro-vexpress64
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Mar 25 14:14 3.14.0-rc7-linaro-vexpress64

root@genericarmv8:~# uname -a
Linux genericarmv8 3.14.0-rc7+ #1 SMP Sun Mar 30 18:55:02 UTC 2014 aarch64 GNU/Linux

---------------

If I make a soft link to 3.14.0-rc7-linaro-vexpress64, it can display some useful info :

root@genericarmv8:~# ln -s 3.14.0-rc7-linaro-vexpress64 /lib/modules/3.14.0-rc7+
root@genericarmv8:~# ls -l /lib/modules/
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Mar 30 2014 3.14.0-1-linaro-vexpress64
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 Mar 25 14:13 3.14.0-rc7+ -> 3.14.0-rc7-linaro-vexpress64
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Mar 30 2014 3.14.0-rc7-linaro-vexpress64
root@genericarmv8:~# modprobe gator
[ 2050.537849] gator: version magic '3.14.0-rc7-linaro-vexpress64 SMP mod_unload aarch64' should be '3.14.0-rc7+ SMP mod_unload aarch64'
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'gator': Exec format error
root@genericarmv8:~# modprobe --force gator
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'gator': Exec format error

So I think there is some problem in CI-Loop for LEG image.

Could some one fix it (maybe copy the modules for kernel 3.14.0-rc7+ into Image), or let me know what I should do for the Image test .

modprobe is using 'uname -r'. according to the log, it's "3.14.0-rc7+".
the module are installed under lib/modules/3.14.0-rc7-linaro-vexpress64 path.

that's the reason modrobe fails.
