Since are seeing this w/o em we can rule all of these out.

This is just a style change.

This only affects userland reading memory of other process' userland (e.g. 
procfs 'mem' file, gdb, etc.).

These are changes by Kip to do TCP offload (181013, 181014).

These changes are all to #ifdef INET6 only code, so probably not relevant.

More TCP offload stuff, though this just adds constants for new socket 
options.

These are fixes to make UFS cache data from directories.

Given that, I think the likeliest changes to cause this are the TCP offload 
changes.  Note that Kip later MFC'd this change which changed ARP stuff:

Author: kmacy
Date: Thu Jul 31 22:42:27 2008
New Revision: 181075
URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/181075

Log:
  MFC ARP update hooks and change to arpresolve to do arp resolution without a 
pending mbuf to transmit

Modified:
  stable/7/sys/net/route.c
  stable/7/sys/net/route.h
  stable/7/sys/netinet/if_ether.c
  stable/7/sys/netinet/if_ether.h

However, I would stary by narrowing it down to see if Kip's commits cause the 
change.
