The CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL config item has not carried much meaning for a
while now and is almost always enabled by default. As agreed during the
Linux kernel summit, remove it from any "depends on" lines in Kconfigs.

Why not remove this 'EXPERIMENTAL' too ?

It was unclear to me if the feature was actually considered unstable.
I can resend with the text removed from the title too, if that's the
correct action here?

It certainly is unstable right now (which is why it was unstaged from
the v3.9 train). I hope that by v3.10 it won't be - at which
point this patch (and the EXPERIMENTAL) makes sense.

So could you respin it please with the text removed as well - and I will
queue it up in the branch that carries the PVH feature?

Thanks!
