Whats going on is that the emu10k makefiles don't set CPU= and thus generate
incorrect binaries for the kernel. Its not stunningly obvious that you need
to set this I grant but you do.

Because they are the module they inherit valid kernel version info for their
miscompiled object so that it loads and explodes
