Sorry to add to my own post.

My Kernel has had boot param set to nouveau.nofbaccel=1

Based on 711434 I am adding nouveau.noaccel=1
Will report back in 24 hours.

nouveau.noaccel=1 does seem to be the workaround for lockup bugs in nouveau with Nvidia graphics cards. 24 hours stable.

As this is a regular repeatable issue on my setup, if any developer would like more detailed logging please ask.
