They are compiled into the kernel and initialize with 2.6.26.2, though
I have no idea if the kernel uses them more than that...

The crash happens long enough before userspace gets started, as such
except kernel-side users there should be no users of them.

I will check tomorrow without these to determine which one might be the
offending one:
- no crypto,padlock/viarng
- no viafb
- no squashfs (though it should be pretty inoffensive)
