Faster, incremental depmod when adding modules?

[Ian Pilcher]

When installing 1 or more out-of-tree modules within
/lib/modules/$UNAME, is it possible to run depmod in an incremental
fashion - adding symbols from the new modules to modules.dep[.bin]
without re-scanning all of the other modules from that kernel version?

I've tried specifying the new module files, but that seems to create a
completely new modules.dep containing *only* the symbols from the new
modules (which obviously isn't very useful).
