Just tried to add mem=4G iommu=off" to kernel boot parameters.
Open /etc/default/grub and change the line :
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
by
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash mem=4G iommu=off"

And then in a terminal, type :
sudo update-grub

There should be no kernel panic anymore but this is just a workaround and it limits the amount of usable RAM (3G instead of 4G)...the driver still need a fix.
