No, there was no PR.

L2arc CPU hogging after ~24 days was fixed in r218180 in -HEAD and was
MFC'ed to 8-stable in r218429 early in February '11.

If you're using 8-RELEASE, upgrading to 8-STABLE would be something to
consider as there were other ZFS-related issues fixed there that
didn't make it into -RELEASE.
