I wonder you encountered the same panic I have been seeing on CURRENT.
I get "Fatal trap 30" message when I load em(4) module with kldload.

work before. Assume I'm a complete FreeBSD noob for a moment
(which really isn't that far from the truth) and I want to build
a driver as a loadable module for testing. After moving to
the appropriate directory in the source tree (/usr/src/sys/dev/XXX),
what steps do I need to follow to build the driver as a module?

Assume for the moment that I have already commented the driver out
of my kernel configuration file
(/usr/src/sys/<architecture>/conf/GENERIC)
and rebuilt and installed that kernel.
