It need not actually bypass the cache.  We could cache the resulting probe.ko
file and reuse it next time.

Surely that's only appropriate in -p4 mode, for which we now print the resulting
module file name on stdout.  We don't normally put files into pwd at all, though
that is a plausible fallback if neither -k was given nor the cache is available.
