I am loading it from loader.conf. In addition, I added -DUFS_GJOURNAL
to /usr/src/sys/modules/ufs/Makefile (the CFLAGS) to compile in support
for GJOURNAL to the ufs.ko module.

I am loading the geom_journal.ko from the loader as well. Perhaps it
is unhappy that I left out the "rw" flag mount option, I will try it
again with that added.
