This linking causes mfsBSD to choke when building an image from HEAD. It tries
to issue the following command:

${_v}${CP} -rp ${_BOOTDIR}/kernel ${WRKDIR}/disk/boot

Which fails when finding the symbol link. I can send a patch to change that to
-Rp, which would work fine, but wouldn't it be better to either completely
remove if_igb.ko, or simply copy if_em.ko to if_igb.ko?

I'm wondering if for example anyone strips down it's /boot/kernel/ manually, by
removing unused modules, and what would happen if if_em.ko is removed but not
if_igb.ko.
