The patch omits some context that is probably important to what is actually going on, so I do not speak with full confidence. It seems that depmod is roughly similar to freebsd's kldxref(8). The latter is not mentioned in the changelog and does not appear in the patch -- does kFreeBSD circumvent the generation of hints for the kernel linker, or is this step taken elsewhere (in the individual module build routine, say), or should it be added in DKMS?
