 Log Message:
 Stopgap for PR kern/47957: when reinitializing the chip in if_timeout,
 avoid pmf operations as we are called from softint context.
 
 This is not a 100% solution, since we still may end up panicing if
 initialization fails.
 
 Instead of hacking around it on a per driver level, wouldn't it be better
 to have a single global workqueue and dispatch the if_slowtimo() calls
 via that?
