random as module needs work
I built a kernel without the random device and tried to use the
module. I loaded it from the bootloader and the machine panic'ed on boot:
Mounting root from ufs:/dev/da0a
da0 at sym0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0
da0: SEAGATE ST39140W 1498 Fixed Direct Access SCSI-2 device

Don't know what's happening here.

I'm fairly certain this is an invalid assertion:
#ifdef DIAGNOSTIC
if (p1 != curproc)
panic("cpu_fork: curproc");
...
kthread_create forks the new thread on behalf of proc0,
error = fork1(proc0, ...
but if you loaded the module from single user mode then curproc
is most likely going to initproc and not proc0. Basically this
doesn't allow an arbitrary process to create a kernel thread.

Perhaps static sysctls in modules are broken for some reason? The sysctls were
all recently changed from dynamic to static.
When I boot into single user mode and try to load the module after boot, this
happens:
Enter full pathname of shell or RETURN for /bin/sh:
# kldload random
panic: cpu_fork: curproc
This is a bug. For kernel threads, we fork off of proc0, not curproc, so that
check in the alpha cpu_fork() is bogus.
