One note -- there is a complaint about umodem.ko missing dependencies
right at the top of the kernel messages on boot and indeed it does not
load out of the loader.conf entry -- but if I load it by hand once the
system is up (or out of /etc/rc.local, etc) it works.  So while it does
indeed boot I wouldn't call it completely "working" (at least not if you
need the umodem kernel module!)

This happens to impact me on these devices (I have a USB device that
"appears" as a serial modem).... it's been broken for a while on
-CURRENT, but I don't know exactly *when* it broke.  On the Pi2 under
11-Stable it hasn't been a problem.
