It's not a linux-ck problem, it's Manjaro. Due to recent updates in Arch Linux (kmod and mkinitcpio) hooks are no longer provided in kernel only in kmod (depmod-hook) and mkinitcpio (mkinitcpio-install and mkinitcpio remove). Unfortunately, at the moment, as a Manjaro user you will not install most of the current AUR kernels and the problem lies solely with your distribution, i.e. Manjaro.
