[Patch] netconsole: do not depend on experimental

From: Amerigo Wang <hidden>
Date: 2010-03-22 09:59:28 

Nowadays, most distributions enable netconsole by default,
including RHEL, Fedora, Debian, Arch, Opensuse. And
we don't have any bug reports about it. So I think there
is no need to mark it as experimental any more.

Seems reasonable.  Netconsole seems pretty mature.
