Done with the git bisect.  It's somewhere in the late days of 3.17 and
early days of 3.18.  Here's the RHBZ with the patch:

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1188439#c25

I'm hoping someone with more knowledge than me around this part of the
kernel can make sense of it.  If I pull the patch, the touchpad works
extremely well (see RHBZ entry for more).

  touchpad does not respond to tap-to-clicks in I2C mode in Ubuntu 15.04

Bug description:
  Tap-to-click does not work unless I tap several times really fast
  (which is really hard to do), which also causes the cursor to move.
  This is a poor user experience.

  Relatedly, sometimes when using two-finger scrolling, the touchpad
  will get stuck such that I can let go and the cursor won't move. I can
  continue using two fingers to try scrolling, which works, but I can't
  get the cursor to move. If I tap the cursor several times really fast,
  I can eventually get the cursor unstuck so it moves again. I suspect
  that this is related to the tap-to-click issue.
