If I understand you right, you run a custom kernel w/o UFS and load
the latter as a module, don't you?  If so, just add "options
UFS_GJOURNAL" to your kernel config file, and the module should
pick up the setting from the kernel build directory then, granted
you build modules with the kernel, not with the world.

IMHO CFLAGS should go away from ufs.ko's Makefile because the module
should get SOFTUPDATES and UFS_DIRHASH from the kernel configuration,
too.
