adds net/intel-em-kmod.diff

Hi all,

FreeBSD since 10.3 has two issues with its em(4) driver at the moment, which
likely also apply to FreeBSD 11, so following the steps of the intel-ixl-kmod
package we propose this new port that seems not to show these regressions after
thorough testing.

One of the issues is tracked here:

The other issue will be documented this week, affecting at least the 82574L
chipset being unstable in netmap mode.  A partial fix went into HEAD a month
back, but only fixes the netmap mode partially:

https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/svn-src-head/2016-August/089933.html

This can also help users to get newer network drivers faster in the future.  :)


Cheers,
Franco
