Vdev_netvsc has been around for several years. It no longer needs
to be marked experimental.

As far as I remember 'vdev_netvsc' was interim solution until 'netvsc'
was ready. In this patchset 'netvsc' is also becoming mature.

Wouldn't be easier to keep 'vdev_netvsc' experimental to be able to
remove it soon?

Let me discuss with Long Li and management.
Maybe replace EXPERIMENTAL with DEPRECATED in 20.11.
