The mac mouse emulation is neat solution for notebooks with suboptimal
touchpads. For historical reason this is available on x86 but not arm or
mips so remove the limitation.

The other more specific drivers depend on various platform drivers
anyway so users will not select those by accident.

Why not move the mac_hid module to drivers/input instead so
it no longer depends on MACINTOSH_DRIVERS?

For the other mac drivers, it may be helpful to to add '|| COMPILE_TEST'
to the dependency line here to allow building them on ARM (after
you have verified that we can in fact build them all without warnings),
but that would be unrelated.

A bunch of them will rely on specific powermac infrastructure from
arch, it's likely they won't build.

Cheers,
Ben.
