I'll try your patch, however as we can't reproduce this on demand (only 
happens sometimes under heavy load) it might be a while before I can give 
you any feedback.

Regarding trying rev.1.126 from HEAD - I looked at the source and I see 
some other modifications in 1.126 compared to the version in RELENG_6, 
specifically, there are a lot of replacements of IFP2ENADDR with IF_LLADR, 
that seems to have been commited in version 1.99 by ru, and some changes 
regarding VLAN_INPUT_TAG_NEW vs. VLAN_INPUT_TAG.

Since these changes have not been MFC'ed to RELENG_6, I gather there is a 
reason for that - so can 1.126 be used directly on 6.1, or do I need to 
hand-edit the other changes in 1.126 into the stock RELENG_6 if_bge.c to 
test this version?
