Last idea from my side (since you run stable not current) -- do you
load the driver by loader.conf?

This is my message to freebsd-current@:
-----
As of r261651 at CURRENT the driver works for me if:
. disable multi-core at BIOS (so kern.smp.cpus: 1);
. do not load driver at /boot/loader.conf (i.e. use the builtin kernel
  driver);
. disable WITNESS* and INVARIANTS* (GENERIC does not work even with
  single CPU).
