 There are two issues here:
 
  - The default for kern.module.autoload is 1, which allows loading the
    compat_freebsd module in MODULAR kernels. There is no code dealing
    with failures properly at that level, so if the modload fails, it
    is retried next time an unidentified "binary" is executed.
 
  - The compat freebsd module is not loadable, which needs to be fixed.
 
 Another issue is maybe that we should create a module black list (for modules
 to never try auto-loading), but setting kern.module.autoload=0 in 
 /etc/sysctl.conf is a good aproximation (at least for the systems
 I admin).
