Well, that beast was selling with linux preloaded, no? Or was it 
another msi wind? In such case I'd expect old kernel to work... or 
maybe some reasonable workaround somewhere...

In fact I have an MSI Wind and the touchpad is works on it just fine with the
current mainline.
Perhaps this one is just another MSI Wind.  What model is it?

From what I have heard there are different models of MSI Wind out there, 

with different set of hardware configurations.

Arjan, Rafael, could you please provide the dmidecode outputs for the 
working and non-working systems, so that we can see what are the 
differences?

Thanks,
