[Trying to make up for my previous mistake.]

The symptom certainly looks like misbehaving hardware, but other information from
the reports seems to suggest that it is possible that this misbehavior might be
caused by software misconfiguring the hardware.

I would re-test vm.pmap.pg_ps_enabled=0 just to be sure that it was correctly teh
first time.
I would try to see how 8.0-RC1 kernel behaves and in general try to find last
working, first non-working version.
It would be useful to know any (if any) non-default loader.conf and rc.conf
settings or kernel config (if not GENERIC).

Not a trivial issue unless it is hardware indeed.
