Based on the error messages you report, the part of the tree that might
be damaged is src/sys/conf/files*.  From a glance at the config code it
looks like that error is generated if it reads through conf/files and
conf/files.amd64 and others that are included from your kernel config,
and it didn't find any lines that contained "optional vt".  The thing
is, that appears on a pretty good number of lines, so it's hard to
picture the damage that caused just that error and no others.
