ULE is the default in 7 as well.  Perhaps remove some of the kernel 
options not in 7, that are in 8 by default? What is the disk 
subsystem ? just ata ?

They seem innocuous enough, but worth a try

options        HWPMC_HOOKS             # Necessary kernel hooks for hwpmc(4)
options        MAC                     # TrustedBSD MAC Framework
options        FLOWTABLE               # per-cpu routing cache
