Parag was using incorrect driver -- usbmouse -- (which is intended to be
used only under very special circumstances) instead of standard HID
driver.
Kconfig help text clearly states how special the usbmouse driver is, but
many people still try to use it, probably because of its name. Therefore
we now have

HID: make boot protocol drivers depend on EMBEDDED
which is already in Linus tree and which makes the possibility of chosing
this special driver dependent on CONFIG_EMBEDDED.
