Google told me that some of you guys were discussing this issue on 
freebsd-mobile, so I'm forwarding my post over here.

If anyone was using a bfe card and seeing interrupt storms when you attempted 
to bring the card up, this is the fix for you.  The driver wasn't previously 
taking into account the fact that the chipset doesn't like addresses over the 
1GB mark.

If you'd like an even quicker fix, just add hw.mem = "1000M" to your 
loader.conf and reboot. :)
