GNOME freezes with Intel GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics

Originally created by @goupille on #12217 (Redmine)

a user reported this problem :

since upgrading to 2.10, after enabling persistence gnome doesn’t start and the computer freeze. if the persistence is ot enabled, there are no issue.
the user reproduced the error after reconfiguring the persistent volume, and with a brand new installation, and with a brand new USB stick.
the user managed to get some debugging info before the freeze and I found that in the logs :

localhost.localdomain kernel: [drm:drm_atomic_helper_commit_cleanup_done [drm_kms_helper]] *ERROR* [CRTC:26:pipe A] flip_done timed out

a bug report with the same error message was posted here :
