Stand-alone nSIM platform has the only peripheral which is serial port.
That means support of networking and mice makes no sense for it.

Moreover removal of networking alone gives us 2 nice benefits:
 1. Build happens faster
    On my machine I'm seeing this:
       Existing defconfig:
         real	2m37.887s
         user	8m22.077s
         sys	0m35.995s

       New defconfig:
         real	1m35.351s
         user	5m11.988s
         sys	0m25.211s

    Which gives us ~60% speed-up.

 2. Memory footprint is smaller:
    arc-linux-size vmlinux.org
      text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
      5829381	 798756	 257280	6885417	 691029	vmlinux.org

    arc-linux-size vmlinux.new
      text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
      4426769	 526348	 225244	5178361	 4f03f9	vmlinux.new

Though this has one down-side - UNIX sockets are disabled an so on
attempt to run hackbench by default user will see:
--------------------->8-------------------
hackbench
Running in process mode with 10 groups using 40 file descriptors each
(== 400 tasks)
Each sender will pass 100 messages of 100 bytes
Creating fdpair (error: Function not implemented)
--------------------->8-------------------

Still it's possible to ask hackbench to use pipes instead like this:
--------------------->8-------------------
hackbench -p
Running in process mode with 10 groups using 40 file descriptors each
(== 400 tasks)
Each sender will pass 100 messages of 100 bytes
Time: 9.216
--------------------->8-------------------
