Just filed a PR with the subject:

    "em driver em_poll doesn't start send if pending packets"

the subject should be:

    "em driver em_intr doesn't start send if pending packets"

I believe this may be the problem (and fix) to the if_em problems noted 
in the 5.3 TODO list.  The following patch to em_intr() has fixed the 
problem for us.  We basically would see an em interface hang after 5-10 
minutes of throughput testing GigE-GigE with an Ixia.
