I am always happy to blame ACPI code (especially EC) for bad
iteraction with input devices ;), especially since there weren't any
significant changes to i8042 in any recent kernels. Do you think the
person reporting the failure on Acer could try bisecting it? Could
ALexey Starikovskiy have any ideas whether there is bad EC iteractions
stopping timely delivery of mouse interrupts?
