There is plenty of consumer hardware (e.g., mac books) that does not use
AT keyboards or PS/2 mice. It therefore makes sense for distro kernels
to build the related drivers as modules to avoid loading them on hardware
that does not need them. As such, these options should no longer be protected
by EXPERT.

Moreover, building these drivers as modules gets rid of the following ugly
error during boot:

[    2.337745] i8042: PNP: No PS/2 controller found. Probing ports directly.
[    3.439537] i8042: No controller found

Maybe this a stupid question, but why are you dropping the "!X86" too?
Because the "if EXPERT" only mattered for X86.

Apply De Morgan and it read like "do not ask the question if !EXPERT && X86".
Precisely.
