I reviewed mail and it appears I mis-remembered things.  It looks like 
Jack MFC'd the vlan event stuff from HEAD to RELENG_7 (thought I'd 
caught him before he actually committed the changes) and so users 
experienced panic's.  I remember the mail (found it on net@) but didn't 
recall the panic had been hit on RELENG_7; thought it was on HEAD.  So 
it appears the MFC you did was correct; it should fix the problem.
