One of my buddies is having panics with if_em after the last
set of changes a couple of weeks ago.  He runs dhclient
on the interface to get a lease from a cable modem.  The
panic is a recurse on a non-recursive mutex.  I haven't
gotten a traceback from him yet, but a little perusing
through the source seems to show this as a possible problem:

 		EM_UNLOCK(adapter);
                 return;
         }

Also, indentation is inconsistent, some lines use tabs, some
uses spaces.  It looks like the original code from Intel used
spaces and subsequent mods used tabs.  I guess we should be
sticking with the original style, but it is easy to overlook.
