I'm afraid I'm not someone who can help you, I'm merely an user who got the
same problem. It does seem like a kernel driver rather than X driver
problem too. I guess, it'd be best to send the report/logs to nouveau guys
upstream.

Setting the X driver to vesa maybe? My solution is to use the proprietary
driver, it works fine for me.
I couldn't reboot with nouveau on new kernel before then got distracted,
I'll see if it fixes things. But, my logs and your logs look totally
different so there's a big chance it's a different bug with same symptoms.

It will hit backports in a while, currently both jessie-backports and
unstable got 4.2. The nouveau overhaul is in 4.3, which currently is only
in experimental. As jessie is pretty recent, I believe the experimental
kernel can be installed without much trouble.
Or, you can compile your own kernel, please say so if you need help.
