I'm wrong.  em uses built in PHYs indeed.  Which also means link_state
doesn't work there...

Check out the function em_local_timer() in sys/dev/em/if_em.c and maybe
you get some more insight by enabling if debugging or putting some
printf's in there.  What makes me a little bit wondering is the direct
use of printf() instead of dev_printf().  I don't know what the locking
implications are if any.
