This seems to be because depmod uses System.map as a source for kernel
symbols and scans for only the ones prefixed with "__ksymtab" to find
the exported ones - and those happen to use the '.' to mark the
namespace it belongs to. It strips that prefix and uses the remainder
as the actual symbol name. To fix that it'd have to strip the
namespace suffix in the symbol name as well.

Just scanning the depmod source code, it seems really trivial to just
have depmod accommodate the new symbol name format. Adding Lucas (kmod
maintainer) to CC.

Thanks,

Jessica
