8.0-RELEASE is not able to bring up some of the my em interfaces.  The
error message that I get is:

em0: <Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Connection 6.9.14> port 0xa800-0xa81f
mem 0xce480000-0xce49ffff,0xce460000-0xce47ffff irq 16 at device 0.0

I tried enabling all of the debug output I could find in the em driver
and got the following output(I truncated most of it because it didn't
look interesting).

e1000_set_d0_lplu_state_82571
e1000_read_phy_reg_igp
e1000_get_hw_semaphore_82571
e1000_write_phy_reg_mdic
e1000_read_phy_reg_mdic
MDI Error

e1000_put_hw_semaphore_generic
Error Disabling LPLU D0

e1000_clear_hw_cntrs_82571
e1000_clear_hw_cntrs_base_generic
em0: Hardware Initialization Failed
em0: Unable to initialize the hardware

Here's the pciconf output for the interfaces that are giving me problems:

em0 at pci0:1:0:0: class=0x020000 card=0x125e8086 chip=0x105e8086 rev=0x00 hdr=0x00
em1 at pci0:1:0:1: class=0x020000 card=0x125e8086 chip=0x105e8086 rev=0x00 hdr=0x00
em2 at pci0:2:0:0: class=0x020000 card=0x125e8086 chip=0x105e8086 rev=0x00 hdr=0x00
em3 at pci0:2:0:1: class=0x020000 card=0x125e8086 chip=0x105e8086 rev=0x00 hdr=0x00

Please let me know if there's anything else that you need.  I'm
willing to try patches or get more debug output.

Thanks,
Ryan Stone
