Nobody building his kernel for a pc will ever want his keyboard not to function until the module is loaded; the CONFIG_SERIO_I8042 option is really only there for embedded devices based on x86 processors which don't have an i8042 keyboard controller, which is where the EMBEDDED option was made for. Modularizing this would effectively disable the possibility of booting with init=/bin/sh.
