FWIW this was fixed in https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/364435
(aka =
https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/commit/?id=3D05c312a339096ac54d404029ddfcd011=
4d452a4c).

However, since kldxref is (for some reason) run from the *host* system
during an installkernel, it will give that warning message if you
upgrade from an older tree. The warnings can safely be ignored, and will
disappear the next time you upgrade.
