Subject: [Dell XPS 13 9343] Random kernel Oops at boot if initramfs contains hid-multitouch

Hi,
If you load hid-multitouch into the initramfs it leads to random crashes.
If you load the module later it doesn't harm.
Only Arch dm-crypt users are affected by this issue because they need the 
mkinitcpio "keyboard" hook to be able to type the password, and it loads 
hid-multitouch into the initramfs.
