Has it not been established by someone that the problem is in freebsd
(scheduler iirc) and not the drivers themselves? This along with the
bge/bce wtachdog timeouts seems to confirm that.
Yes, I think its pretty likely to be in the timer/clock code, something
must have changed.
However, I like the design change we made to em better anyway,
the net/if timer is UP design, and has ALWAYS been vulnerable to
races, its best to do what we did (its in patch yet and not checked
in btw).
