 Yes. In my case the problem disappeared after several (three, I guess)
 reboots. Now I have 7-CURRENT installed on this notebook and em(4)
 works w/o warnings. However, network is bit laggy.
 
 So, I guess, hw.pci.allow_unsupported_io_range did nothing for you,
 and em(4) had fixed due to same magic as in mine case :|
