Totally agree with Gnurou. You can't release a version that's known bad without putting the workarounds in BY DEFAULT. However there might be light at the end of the tunnel (or buffer, or pipe :-) )

I pulled new libdrm packages yesterday, to go from 2.4.6 to 2.4.9 - didn't fix it, exactly the same range of symptoms under various kernel and EXA or UXA settings.

I then pulled some new mesa packages this morning. I am now on "7.4-0ubuntu2"...
...and I am running UXA and stable so far, couple of hours which is definitely a record.

I'm not going to say it's fixed until I get to the end of the day, but it does look like the latest mesa has fixed SOMETHING. Which is strange, because there's nothing in the change log that would indicate fixes to freeze conditions.
