I can repro with the version shipped in PACKAGES on a fresh installation with
the same stacktrace and instructions, on a GENERIC kernel.

Once rebuilt from ports, it works like a charm.

This is always tricky to install PEFS from packages, for example, after 11.1
release, the version in the packages was still for 11.0. I've also get an issue
for 13.2.

The new thing is the kernel crash.

Perhaps a solution could be to stop to build and ship pefs-kmod and directly
ask users to install it through ports until we find a solution amongst:

  - be able to provide different versions of the module, per FreeBSD version
  - be able to trigger a part of the build against kernel sources through pkg
(Debian does something like that)
  - be able to detect if the version requirement matches the built package and
offer a warning when it's not the case

The patch from freebsd-update is clearly welcome, but here we're in a fresh
installation, so before freebsd-update has the opportunity to kick.
