As suggested by Adrian Bunk, UNIX domain sockets should always be built in
on normal systems. This is especially true since udev needs these sockets
and fails to run if UNIX=m.

People who use udev can make sure they have it built into their kernel
if they have such a dependency.
Not everyone uses udev, and therefore needs AF_UNIX non-modular.
That's why I kept this option for embedded folks.
Is there any benefit for non-embedded systems from having UNIX=m?
udev-free != embedded.
