Subject: Last depmod fails with 3.13-rc6

Hello,

Trying to run depmod (from kmod 16) on the 3.13-rc6, I got this error
message:

# depmod 3.13.0-rc6-seblu
depmod: ERROR: Module 'hci_vhci' has devname (vhci) but lacks major and
minor information. Ignoring.
# echo $?
1

The message and error code seem to be on purpose[2] but they break tools
which rely on depmod return 0 (like kernel-install).

Maybe fixing this in the kernel before the release will avoid future
updates issue downstream.
