--- Comment #2 from Eric Joyner <erj at freebsd.org> ---
I'm not an expert on locking issues, but it appears that lagg_register_vlan()
enters an epoch (via the now-confusingly named LAGG_RLOCK() macro) that
iflib_vlan_register() is run inside of, and the
msec_delay()->safe_pause_ms()->pause() in the em driver is causing the
"sleeping in an epoch section" panic.

A quick fix would be to make em *not sleep* during that e1000_reset_hw_82580()
function, but that doesn't seem ideal; why should it not be allowed to sleep?
