Logically, there can't be. I'm guessing that what was meant is that SELinux isn't going to have any specific patches which are for an embedded environment.

However, since no such patches are required (except maybe the real-time & PPS patches), there is no distinction in the Linux world between an embedded and a non-embedded kernel. That's simply where you happen to be running it.

Of course, if there's a start-up message box which asks the user "are you running this as an embedded OS", there might be a problem. :)
