[Bug 1534946] [NEW] pcimodules: broken; 'kmod' depmod doesn't generate a modules.pcimap

[TJ]

Public bug reported:

pciutils->pcimodules relies on /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.pcimap
and its man-page claims this file is created by kmod->depmod.

However, since at least 14.04 trusty, this is not the case. Consequently
pcimodules is broken on all releases since 14.04.

In 12.04 depmod still supported the "-m" option to generate
modules.pcimap.
