someone give an estimation as to how soon that may be and how soon
it may make it to 8-stable? If it's going to be a while I may look
into adding a card using a different driver to test.

The patch would fix unresponsive system under high network load as
well as reducing number of interrupts. The patch also contains
bus_dma(9) and watchdog timeout fix.
FYI, with the above patch, the driver is quite stable for me on a box
I use in my lab.
