>Description:
Loading any new order module through the bootloader and boot.cfg(8) causes a panic just after module_init_class(MODULE_CLASS_VFS) is called in vfs_init.c.

The backtrace is something like:

_atomic_inc_32()
vn_open()
kobj_load_file()
module_do_load()
module_init_class()
vfsinit()

>How-To-Repeat:
$ echo 'load=puffs' >> /boot.cfg && reboot

 This problem still remains on 5.99.02. Loading the puffs module
 through the bootloader still panics due to some bug while loading
 vfs module dependencies.
