Ilya,

Yes just go ahead and apply the patch that was attached. Then rebuild
your kernel. Make sure that your softupdates are enabled on the UFS
partition(s).

Then try hammering it with some sort of file test on that partition
(e.g. unpack a somewhat large source tarball and try building it).

The kernel did build fine for me when I built it. Unfortunately, due to
my hardware, RELENG_7 doesn't "just work" for me from vanilla sources,
so I'd like to see some testers on better "supported" hardware.
