In your correction, you did not really mention 8-STABLE, you only warn 
about putting e1000 from CURRENT to 8.0-RELEASE.

I got the same problem: 
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-mobile/2010-March/011952.html

Since I did not get a reply, I put the whole e1000 directory from 
CURRENT into 8-STABLE.

Is there any problem with that? (It _seems_ to work so far.)

Are you going to MFC the PCH devices to 8-STABLE any time soon?

Thanks,
Jan Henrik
