I've spent the last couple of days chasing random hangs on my -CURRENT
box.  It seems to be related to the Ethernet driver (em).  I've been
trying without much success to chase it down, and I'd be grateful.
The box is headless, and all communication is via the net, which
doesn't make it any easier.  I've tried a verbose boot, but nothing of
interest shows up.  Typically it happens during the nightly backups,
which are over NFS:

  Aug 13 21:06:46 dereel kernel: <<<66>n>nffs server s6>neurekfs server aeureka:/dum:p: /ndoump: tnot responding
  Aug 13 21:06:46 dereel kernel:
  Aug 13 21:06:46 dereel kernel: responding
  Aug 13 21:06:46 dereel kernel:
  Aug 13 21:06:46 dereel kernel: server eureka:/dump:n not responding

And if you haven't seen those garbled messages before, admire.
They've been there for a long time, and they have nothing to do with
the problem.  More to the point, there are no other error messages.

I've run three kernels on this box over the last few weeks:

1. FreeBSD dereel 14.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 14.0-CURRENT amd64 1400093 #10 main-n264292-7f9318a022ef: Mon Jul 24 17:13:32 AEST 2023     grog@dereel:/usr/obj/eureka/home/src/FreeBSD/git/main/amd64.amd64/sys/GENERIC amd64

   This works with no problems.

2. FreeBSD 14.0-CURRENT amd64 1400094 #11 main-n264653-517e0978db1f: Thu Aug 10 14:17:13 AEST 2023 grog@dereel:/usr/obj/eureka/home/src/FreeBSD/git/main/amd64.amd64/sys/GENERIC

3. FreeBSD dereel 14.0-ALPHA1 FreeBSD 14.0-ALPHA1 amd64 1400094 #12 main-n264693-b231322dbe95: Sat Aug 12 14:31:44 AEST 2023     grog@dereel:/usr/obj/eureka/home/src/FreeBSD/git/main/amd64.amd64/sys/GENERIC amd64

   Both of these exhibit the problem.

Note that we're now ALPHA1, so it's a good idea to get to the bottom
of it.  The box is an ThinkCentre M93p.  I'm attaching a verbose boot
log, though I don't expect anybody to find something of use there.
I'm also currently building a new world in case something has happened
since Saturday.
