Merge in new driver from Intel, version 6.0.5. It adds support for
80003 NICs and NICs found on ICH8 mobos, and improves support for already known chips. Details: - if_em.c. Merged manually, viewing diff between new vendor driver and previous one. This was an easy task, because most changes between 5.1.5 and 6.0.5 are bugfixes taken from FreeBSD. - if_em_hw.h. Dropped in from vendor, and then restored revisions 1.16, 1.17, 1.18. - if_em_hw.c. Dropped in from vendor, and then restored revision 1.15. - if_em_osdep.h. Added new required macros from vendor file and add a hack against define namespace mangling in if_em_hw.h. Intel made another hack, but I prefer mine.
