Ok, I found an easier way to provoke the panic. Just compile the following
program like this:

cc -Wall -O -o vm -lcrypto vm.c

and run as root. The program itself does not use the crypto, but it is
needed to provoke the panic.

##################### vm.c ##########################
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>

int
main(int argc, char **argv)
{
	/*
	 * lock the process into memory
	 */
	if (mlockall(MCL_CURRENT|MCL_FUTURE) < 0)
		perror("mlockall()");

	return 0;
}
