You probably don't need to do this. -CURRENT is a BIG change and still likely less stable than desired. The ATAPI/CAM patches are slated to be MFCed as soon as 4.7 is released and the RELENG_4 branch is re-opened. The tree should be re-opened this week unless an unexpected problem shows up, so I would expect -STABLE to have ATAPI/COM support next week. R.
