Recent PCIe variants from RealTek have shown various stability
issues on amd64. I guess most of the issues were fixed in HEAD.
Could you try re(4) in HEAD? I guess you can use the HEAD version
after changing m_collapse(...) to m_defrag(*m_head, M_DONTWAIT)
in if_re.c to build it on RELENG_6.

If you have to run re(4) with debug.mpsafenet=0 it's possible
to encounter the same bug in the PR. Otherwise, I guess the
patch in PR have nothing to do with re(4) stability issues
you're seeing.
