Your attached dmesg of -RC3 is not -RC3, it is 8-STABLE.  At this point,
there have been changes between the stable/8 and releng/8.4 branches
enough say that the two have diverged, and the stable/8 code is _not_
what will be the 8.4-RELEASE.

While your issue does concern me, it is still unclear that this is
a problem with the upcoming 8.4-RELEASE.  Can you please try upgrading
to the releng/8.4 branch to see if this issue persists?
