I've tried your suggestion and it worked! I've discovered the following:

"pci=nomsi noapic irqpoll" no freeze
"pci=nomsi irqpoll" no freeze
"irqpoll" no freeze
"pci=nomsi" no freeze
"noapic" no freeze
"" freeze

So far without any of this options I can reproduce the crash in 100% cases
under 1 minute of moving image in Gimp. I did it many times when backtracing.
However, there is slight probability that I just got lucky with one of options.
I'm 100% sure I've run `update-grub` after every /etc/default/grub change.

Assuming that all of this options fix the problem, which option should I use
(witch one disables least things)? I found the following but I don't understand
much:

noapic: [SMP,APIC] Tells the kernel to not make use of any IOAPICs that may be
present in the system.

irqpoll: [HW] When an interrupt is not handled search all handlersfor it. Also
check all handlers each timerinterrupt. Intended to get systems with badly
brokenfirmware running.

pci=nomsi: [MSI] If the PCI_MSI kernel config parameter isenabled, this kernel
boot option can be used todisable the use of MSI interrupts system-wide.

And finally: Is it a proper fix, or just a workaround?
