"(Any help is much appreciated. Booting Windows 8.1 just to 'fix' the touchpad is becoming a little combersome, as Windows won't boot without Secure Boot activated, which means going into the BIOS/Firmware to toggle it on to boot Windows & then to toggle it off to boot mainline etc. Sorry for winging and complaining.)"
There was some program from mjg that enabled you to boot anything with Secure Boot on.

"Just a bit more info: when it's working fine, the /proc/interrupts shows a lot of activities against it (IRQ 12 against i8042), but when it stops working, the counter remains zero." Very interesting.

It isn't impossible that the hardware is broken.
