Sorry I realise I did not answer the question :S. There are other 
patches in there but mainly to port the FBSD 9 driver to FBSD7 which 
includes some back conversions to QUADs from UINT64 sysctls and some 
other minor PCI macro names.

Nothing I can think that would affect this type of behaviour. Moreover 
those patches have been proven to work for a while now without issues 
and this problem seems relatively new to me.
