When booting in compat mode, we panic in boot_read with the error that I
reported earlier.  Here are a few values that I printed out on entry to
that function:

        mod->mod_start: 1179403647
        mod->mod_end:   65793
        mod->string:    ""
        file_ofs:       0
        size:           52

Thus, it looks to me like we do not have a valid module structure.
Additionally, they are consistent across reboots.

Booting multiple modules result in a hang, however, I see more plausible
results from my printfs in boot_read (i.e. at least mod->string is
valid).

        boot_read: "/home/neal/ext2fs.static":
        mod_start: 1851392; file_ofs: 0; size 52; mod->mod_end: 2924311
        boot_read: "/home/neal/ext2fs.static":
        mod_start: 1851392; file_ofs: 52; size 96; mod->mod_end: 2924311
        read_exec: "":
        read_exec: "":

        Hang.
