Dazuko is loading fine, so there are no "real" problems here.

The "System.map" file contains a list of all the kernel symbols. I suspect 
that the System.map file on your system either doesn't match the kernel that 
is being used or has been stripped down by RedHat for security reasons. 
depmod uses this file for determining symbol dependency problems. This means 
that depmod thinks there are problems, but in reality there are no problems.

As long as you use "insmod" to insert Dazuko (rather than "depmod/modprobe") 
then you won't have any problems.

If these error messages bother you, then you should complain to RedHat for 
shipping the wrong or a stripped down System.map file.
