An unusually old snapshot time for aarch64 FreeBSD-src-sys-15.* (vs. amd64 and armv7)

Note the 1 large difference in snapshot times
(as reported in the file names) in the below:

aarch64: FreeBSD-src-sys-15.snap20250819173811.pkg
amd64:   FreeBSD-src-sys-15.snap20250819233812.pkg
armv7:   FreeBSD-src-sys-15.snap20250819234706.pkg

aarch64 can not contain:

git: 740b879c6ade - main - arm64: prevent panic when using syscall mux + large arg call (mmap)
(CommitDate: 2025-08-19 22:37:07 +0000)

The others are late enough for containment --but
the change is in arm64 specific code that supports
running 32-bit code.

Comparing to the other aarch64 src package file:

aarch64: FreeBSD-src-sys-15.snap20250819173811.pkg
aarch64:     FreeBSD-src-15.snap20250819225053.pkg

So: also a sizable time difference. 740b879c6ade
is between the 2, much near to the later time.

I've no clue if such sizable time variations are
expected vs. not.
