STABLE kernel panic: privileged instruction fault

Hello.

I have a couple of Supermicro servers which got the similar kernel panic with all FreeBSD versions I tried since 6.4.
Now I want to investigate into the problem.
The servers get into panic with similar workload: file server with a lot of files and connections. Web server software is nginx. File system is UFS+GJOURNAL. Outgoing traffic on each server is ~10 MB/s.
I think it is not software problem, because when I've installed Linux with such configuration there were no kernel panics.

Here is the short overview of the hardware:
