Patch for changing error message in dmesg
Hi,
I've been trying to fix some issues related to loading kernel modules, but the
error message in dmesg which said "hints file version mismatch 1979654256" are
ambiguous as the system has more than one hints files (device.hints, and
linker.hints) while this error is strictly for the linker.hints file.
It took me a while to figure out this was related to the linker.hints file (it
should be pretty obvious to a seasoned freebsd user as the linker.hints file is
more relevant for loading kernel modules), but I feel that this (small) change
should help make the error more accurate.
It changes the error messages to say "linker.hints file version mismatch XXXX"
instead.
