>Description:
I'm testing hardware to improve a high load firewall. I'm using HP 360G7 and a Intel Quad port 82571EB (em(4)). In this hardware, if I don't activate DEVICE_POLLING, network rate is very poor and sinusoidale.
 
If I activate DEVICE_POLLING, network is stable and fast, but :
- in 8.1p8, PF and rules over physical interfaces (em0 and em1) work perfectly, but if I applied PF rules on Vlan interfaces, many states would be never cleared

- in 8-STABLE is worse, a lot of state are never cleared on physical interfaces

I'm using PF in kernel mode.
>How-To-Repeat:
Enabling DEVICE_POLLING in kernel, and on em(4) interface. Create vlan on this interfaces, generate network TCP highload, stop it and look at pfctl -si "currentesentries", it never decrease to 0 (or 2 in you are in ssh).
