Many kldxref errors during drm-i915-update-38 kernel (c6d9af5) install

[Arto Pekkanen]

Actually, the following commit message explains that some metadata 
errors are to be ignored in a newer revision of kldxref (in FreeBSD 
HEAD):
https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/svn-src-head/2015-January/066911.html

I now assume that these errors are safe to ignore, unless told 
otherwise.

Well, I will test the new kernel and see if it works.
