Thank you Tarigo :-) I did a fix by rebuilding the module on a 12.1, but then
it was replaced by pkg upgrade, causing the problem again. I would prefer to
have such package globally blacklisted rather than blocking it myself after it
crashed my production machine.

I would really prefer to see a message from PKG "Please build this package from
Ports otherwise it will not work reliably on this system" rather than getting
back into system crash loop after I considered problem to be solved.

The root cause of this problem, and I hope no more problems like this in
future, is allowing Linux like bleeding edge approach in Kernel, including
Kernel API changes with each release. I am sure there can be a good solution
for that, so we do don't need to "fix problems that never existed before"^TM.
Otherwise what would be the difference between FreeBSD and Linux? :-)
