You could be hitting
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=70354 although that's
unclear to me... most of the people with that issue have GK106's and
it's 99% reproducible for them, whereas it's 10% for you. And they
have it as a secondary GPU, whereas I assume there's no intel gpu
exposed in your system.

That said, no additional words of wisdom from me =/

What kernel are you using? There have been some fixes to the context
switching logic recently (kernel 4.0), perhaps they affect your
scenario?
