The em(4) driver, probably. Locking on 4.x is quite different -- the kernel
in 4.x is not preemptive and uses the old-school BSD splimp() software
interrupt masking instead of kernel thread locks.

I had a quick look and can't think of any leads! Perhaps you should try
searching the FreeBSD archives?
