For a kernel global symbols to resolve with depmod (and insmod, of course),
it must explicitly be exported via EXPORT_SYMBOL(). Only then it will appear
in /proc/ksyms. depmod uses /proc/ksyms to resolve symols.

You may have to add a suitable EXPORT_SYMBOL() declaration somewhere in your
kernel sources.
