Can you add "highres=off" as well ? with nohz=off and highres=off I get a similar but not quite identical hang: the mouse pointer still moves around but my desktop is still hung and glxgears doesn't come up. Behavior is identical without boot options and with highres=off however (i.e. lossy interrupts in both cases).
