It seems that many people trying to run Hurd-L4 have run into this
problem (myself included).

Would it make sense to document this?
If so, I wouldn't mind adding it to the HURD-on-L4 wiki at
http://hurd.gnufans.org/bin/view/Hurd/HurdOnL4

Or should we fix this? Perhaps by creating 'real' dummy modules?
Also, is it any use if someone removed the requirement for stripping
physmem? (looks like a good thing for a newbie-hacker to work on)
