Well, I will admit I have a bit older if_em.c, v1.147, but I haven't
been doing much w/ my em, probably not even passing close to 100mbit
of traffic (in gige mode)...  I recently obtained a crash dump from
em_txeof where the tx_buffer is NULL at line 2958:
2958                    if (tx_buffer->m_head) {

If any one want some additional data, I can provide info from the
crash dump...   Just as a bit of trivia, I did load a few kld's..
bktr.ko, bktrau.ko and iic.ko (plus respective other kld's that got
auto loaded)...   It also seems that interactiveness is more likely
to hang em than other traffic...  I've been running the box as a nfs
server for a while w/o issues, but I log in and run ffmpeg, and it
almost immediately hangs requiring an down/up to bring back the
interface...

The panic was when I was bringing the interface back up... Though when
I it paniced, I had down/up'd the interface a few times w/o success in
bringing it back...
