The reporter said the machine was Sun Fire X2200 M2 so I guess you
may see the same issue on both stable/9 and stable/8. Ideally the
loader tunable hw.bge.allow_asf should not be there and driver
should take care of it by checking the existence of ASF/IPMI
firmware.

Can you setup a remote debugging environments(+ IPMI access) like
the following URL?
