--- Comment #1 from Walter Hop <walter at lifeforms.nl> ---
We currently experience the same problem on FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE-p1 amd64.

On some Apache restarts, a panic follows. It happens a few times a week since
10.1, but we are not seeing it on all servers, and it tends to happen during
office hours, so it may be related to a certain use of WSGI.

Initially it seemed that disabling softupdates helped, since back-to-back
panics seemingly stabilized the situation, but after 5 days a panic happened
again.

The problem was not present in FreeBSD 9.2 or 10.0.

apache24-2.4.10_2              Version 2.4.x of Apache web server
ap24-mod_wsgi3-3.5             Python WSGI adapter module for Apache

The panic backtrace is the same in all cases.

When finding the kernel function according to
https://www.freebsd.org/doc/faq/advanced.html#idp60797648 it turns up as:
ffffffff8090d9c0 T lf_advlockasync
