That's not exactly true. From the build system we find that:
# Run depmod only if we have System.map and depmod is executable
Since we don't have a System.map file in our module tree, this depmod
execution is mostly a no-op.
So it is necessary to run a depmod manually after installation.
It might be something wrong in the kbuild, but I don't know this
system enough to be able to judge.
