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 fil=
e is
more relevant for loading kernel modules), but I feel that this (small) cha=
nge
should help make the error more accurate.

It changes the error messages to say "linker.hints file version mismatch XX=
XX"
instead.
