Is it true that only kernel drivers and modules can cause a "kernel panic"?
I mean, is it possible for an user level application to be the cause of a "kernel panic"? If it is, which kind of operations can do that?

If am user-space application can deterministically cause a Kernel Panic, then it sure is what we commonly call "a local exploit" :)
