What about doing a meson configure -Denable_kmods=false before the
ninja install? The modules are not needed for that test anyway, right?
Alternatively, the kernel src dir could be symlinked in the build path,
and the kernel_dir option could be used

I'm just worried that the test should be as "realistic" as possible, to
avoid missing something
