Public bug reported:

Starting with the 3.19 kernels (Vivid), the system frequently freezes in
the nouveau driver, with the following lines (w/ out timestamp and
hostname) always being reported in "/var/log/kern.log" and/or
"/var/log/syslog" just before the system becomes unresponsive and a hard
reset becomes necessary.

nouveau E[ PFIFO][0000:01:00.0] still angry after 101 spins, halt

The bug is also reported in
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=87244, and the fix seems to
be to cherry pick
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=adc346b133c952ec6988d90f6fa79cbe0a3eb7ef
which is included in Linux 4.0 (if I am not mistaken).
