>Description:

kernfs's loadavg interface reports a scale factor of 0 until
averunnable.fscale is initialized in vm_sysctl().

>How-To-Repeat:

run "cat /kern/loadavg" (or wherever you mount kernfs) after a reboot
and before you run "uptime" or anything else that gets the load average.

>Fix:

initialize averunnable statically or something.
