I have tested Janne's kernel, but am still experiencing the freezes,
even though they have become more rare.

I have now finally sent a problem report to Len Brown and linux-pm
(sorry for the delay, wanted to test Janne's kernel before I did to make
sure, and also had to test on 4.4rc8, which has come out in the
meantime, so that my report would be for the lastest release).

Here's a link to the message on linux-pm:

Title:
  Random hard freezes under X on a laptop with Intel BayTrail processor
  (ASUS R752MA)

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  System freezes hard when working under X, sometimes after minutes,
  sometimes after hours. Usually, but not always, graphics-intensive
  applications like viewing videos will trigger the hangs after a while,
  but they can also (much more rarely) occur when e.g. only an xterm is
  opened and being worked in under Unity.

  The MagicSysReq keys are not functional any more once the hang has
  occurred, there is no information in the logs, and no crash dump can
  be obtained by using the soft or nmi watchdogs, panic_on_oops etc.

  I have tried the latest mainline kernel build from
  http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/?C=N;O=D , linux-
  image-4.4.0-040400rc7-generic_4.4.0-040400rc7.201512272230_amd64.deb
  (4.4-rc7), and the hangs still occur under the same circumstances.

  Some research has led me to
  https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=109051 , and I believe
  that it describes the exact problem I am experiencing.

  WORKAROUND: Use kernel parameter:
  intel_idle.max_cstate=1
