iSeries has no keyboard, so it's valid to build a kernel with no input layer.
It seems a bit absurd to call one of these 'embedded'.

Please just remove the EMBEDDED here - there's tons of plattforms without
input that certainly aren't embedded. In fact I've seen very few non-x86
servers with any input devices.

It is there as a precaution... I wonder if we should have it changed to:
if EMBEDDED || !X86
to ensure that we don't have issues on commodity hardware.
