On my Gigabyte P57W laptop the ETPS/2 Elantech touchpad is
inconsistently detected at boot. Trying mainline 4.6 kernel did not
help.

WORKAROUND: Add kernel boot parameter:
i8042.kbdreset=1

The device is id=17 on xinput below:
$ xinput

⎡ Virtual core pointer                    	id=2	[master pointer  (3)]
⎜   ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer              	id=4	[slave  pointer  (2)]
