Well, it seems to be "lucky" day... One of our boxes stopped network
communication (as described in previous post) just an hour ago. After
power cycling it, dmesg says:
...
fxp0: Disabling dynamic standby mode in EEPROM
fxp0: New EEPROM ID: 0x48a0
fxp0: EEPROM checksum @ 0x3f: 0x356 -> 0x356
...
fxp1: Disabling dynamic standby mode in EEPROM
fxp1: New EEPROM ID: 0x48a0
fxp1: EEPROM checksum @ 0x3f: 0x7259 -> 0x7259

Probably no advance here.
Machine booted with apic(4) disabled - I prepared it that way after
short mailing with Maxime Henrion. We'll see if that helped.
So far there is significant performance drop because of SMP loss.
