I've retrieved the ieee80211_node.c and if_run.c and recompiled wlan.ko
and if_run.ko.

Here results:

Case 1: both if_run.ko and wlan_amrr.ko are loaded via loader.conf

  stable/8:  panic
  rev217511: panic

Case 2: wlan_amrr.ko loaded manually _after_ if_run.ko but before creation
of the wlan interface

  stable/8:  panic on rate control
  rev217511: no panic, but rate control doesn't work; tx rate is fixed on 1 Mbit/s

Case 3: wlan_amrr.ko loaded _before_ if_run.ko

  stable/8:  panic on rate control
  rev217511: no panic, rate control works as expected

So rev217511 partially fixes the issue.
