So you claimed originally that it was due to kldloading "some module",
but now you're still getting the same panic when you're not kldloading
anything?  Can you please clarify exactly what is the situation?

I suspect you're still actually kldloading something (modules are
loaded on demand for some things): did you boot into single-user mode
and confirm that all modules are up-to-date?
