When module_namespace() fails, the following error message is shown:
ERROR: modpost: module bar uses symbol foo from namespace
MODULE_kvm, but does not import it.
We get a hint from this error message, but the solution
is not MODULE_IMPORT_NS();
'make nsdeps' will try to solve this by adding
MODULE_IMPORT_NS("MODULE_kvm");
Apparently, this does not work.
Not sure if you want to solve the issue.
