Found a module I forgot to rebuild using equery b /lib/modules:)
On the other hand splashutils need to be remerged sometimes afaik.
And vmware drivers.

VMWare doesn't need to be re-emerged after a kernel upgrade, but you need
to run vmware-config again. Because the kernel modules are not installed
by portage, but created by vmware-config, the equery command won't pick
them up. It picks up all modules that belong to a package, and thus
weren't installed by the kernel configuration and the vmware modules
don't belong to a package :(

There could be a wrapper ebuild around vmware-config
which would register the modules. But of course this is more
of a wish than a necessity. Probably some day portage will
handle this sort of dependencies.
