Ah, I see. What I sent you was the output of diff(1) and represents
the differences between files that you have now and files your should
get to make it work. You safe the mail and give it to patch(1), like
	% cd /sys/conf
	% patch --ignore-whitespace < saved_email

Then you run config as normal and build the kernel.

When I mention diff(1) and patch(1), I mean the user tools for which
you can read the manual page with:
	% man 1 diff
	% man 1 patch

This is as far as I can help you. If this doesn't help you on your
way, then you have to wait for 5.5 to be released and switch to that.

FYI,
