Subject: nf_conntrack: falling back to vmalloc.

I do run a server with a 64 bit hardened Gentoo Linux (kernel currently 4.0.8).
Around 12th of July it started to spew those messages into kern.log :

/var/log/kern.log:Jul 12 15:26:07 tor-relay kernel: [538360.650490] nf_conntrack: falling back to vmalloc.
/var/log/kern.log:Jul 12 15:26:07 tor-relay kernel: [538360.650615] nf_conntrack: falling back to vmalloc.
/var/log/kern.log:Jul 12 15:26:08 tor-relay kernel: [538361.673649] nf_conntrack: falling back to vmalloc.
/var/log/kern.log:Jul 12 15:26:08 tor-relay kernel: [538361.673786] nf_conntrack: falling back to vmalloc.

I read https://bugzilla.openvz.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3092 but a reboot did not help.
I got 1-2 thousends of those lines per day.

Any hints ?
