It seems as though dependencies are not implemented on -STABLE:

/usr/include/sys/module.h
$FreeBSD: src/sys/sys/module.h,v 1.14.2.1 2000/08/09 00:00:07 peter Exp
$

#define MODULE_METADATA(uniquifier, type, data, cval)

#define MODULE_DEPEND(mod, dep, min, pref, max)

#define DECLARE_MODULE(name, data, sub, order) \
    SYSINIT(name##module, sub, order, module_register_init, &data) \
    struct __hack

#define MODULE_VERSION(mod, ver)

I don't know whether this functionality can be MFCed without
breaking compatibility too much...

Cheers,
Jeroen
