[Bug 279939] sysutils/pefs-kmod: causes panic when module is loaded

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=279939

Packages in the repository are built for the lowest release available for that
branch. So packages used by 14.x are built on 14.0 until 14.0 reaches EoL.

In an ideal world we would have latest and quarterly branches for every
supported release at any point in time, but we are not there yet.

There is even a patch in freebsd-update(8), that didn't make it into 14.1, that
scans the system for modules installed from ports and advises the user to
rebuild them after upgrading to a new release:

Other modules like virtualbox-kmod-ose will just refuse to load in a 14.1
system if the module was built on a 14.0 system.
