--- Comment #3 from clay@milos.co.za ---
I have the same kernel compile issue for 12.2-RELEASE:
In file included from /usr/src/sys/dev/e1000/if_em.c:30:
/usr/src/sys/dev/e1000/if_em.h:96:10: fatal error: 'ifdi_if.h' file not fou=
nd
#include "ifdi_if.h"
         ^~~~~~~~~~~
1 error generated.
*** Error code 1

Stop.
make[2]: stopped in /usr/obj/usr/src/amd64.amd64/sys/ROUTER
*** Error code 1
*** Error code 1

It's caused by:
device          em              # Intel PRO/1000 Gigabit Ethernet Family

Fixed by adding the iflib device:
device          iflib
device          em              # Intel PRO/1000 Gigabit Ethernet Family

Kernel compiled now without errors.
Something else that changed and affected me was that:
device          tun
has been deprecated and replaced with:
device          tuntap

This is not a bug, just a change in the kernel requiring a new device becau=
se
em now has dependency iflib. It's a little annoying that these changes happ=
en
but they make sense in order to be able to lighten the kernel if you are not
using one of the NIC's. It's documented fine in GENERIC:
# PCI/PCI-X/PCIe Ethernet NICs that use iflib infrastructure
