Support Acer C720P Touchpad (kernel upgrade)

Filing this as a feature request since the “bug” is in Debian. The chromeos_laptop.ko module in the tails-i386-0.23.iso does not recognize the C720P as a supported device and cannot be modprobe’d. It looks like a couple fixes and proper support were implemented upstream via Debian Bug #740042 (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=740042), and the changes were applied to linux_3.13.5-1~bpo70+1.debian.tar.xz.

I’m not sure what your policies are regarding using Debian as the OS base (or the policy on kernel rebuilds, for that matter), but these fixes are already incorporated in wheezy-backports. Any chance a recent kernel version will make it into the next version of Tails?

Thank you very much,
JLP
