You could try lowering max_low_mem. You can do this by setting "Code
maturity level option"/"Prompt for advanced kernel configuration options"
and then going under where you selected HIGH_MEM and setting max_low_mem
size to something small.
It will likely take some trial and error to get it stressed enough.
You'll have to start a bunch or processes and look at where they're
getting their memory
I'd be interested in hearing how it goes.
