I've cherry-picked e2e407dc093f530b771ee8bf8fe1be41e3cea8b3 on to
4.4.0-28.47 and compiled the kernel and it looks like this did solve the
issue. (Just tested for 15 minutes, but with the default kernel it
appeared within seconds already).

Title:
  multi monitors - black flashes or black screen when the mouse cursor
  leaves a monitor

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  When the mouse cursor leaves one of the screens, there is either :
  - no problem
  - the screen becomes black just below the position of the cursor and instantly comes back to normal.
  - the screen becomes entirely black with some random colored pixels flickering on the far left of the screen. I have to move the cursor to the black screen, otherwise it stays black.

  It happens on Ubuntu Gnome 16.04 Beta and Ubuntu Mate 16.04 Beta.
  I have tested with other distributions (Debian Jessie and Fedora) and everything is fine.

  Hardware : Intel Ironlake (Thinkpad X201) with an external monitor
  plugged in.
