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.
