I've built kernels before, no problem. How exactly do I go about patching the kernel with the above referenced patch? |
Download the patch to somewhere (for example /tmp/drm-patch.txt)
Run (as root):
# cd /usr/src/
# patch -p0 < /tmp/drm-patch.txt
This assumes, of course, that you have the kernel source for 8.1-RELEASE installed in /usr/src/sys/.
Now rebuild the kernel.

Will I have to CVSup to -CURRENT?

No. In fact, the PCI ID is already available in -CURRENT, though I don't know about 8.1-RELEASE.

Or may I simply apply only this patch?

Yes.

Will "world" need to be rebuilt?
Following this, will ports need to be rebuilt? (only 486 installed, no big deal  )

No, and no. If you are using the same kernel config for this new build as for the previous build, and didn't change kernel versions, you can probably just unload and reload the radeon kernel module and then restart X. Worst case scenario, you reboot.
