[Bug kprobes/4748] New: Kprobes marked EXPERIMENTAL

If you run make menuconfig (or a sibling thereof), you'll see that kprobes is
labeled "EXPERIMENTAL". Kprobes has been in Linus's kernel since 2004, so this
label is rather cautious. One explanation is that KPROBES is in the
Instrumentation submenu, which itself depends on EXPERIMENTAL. But does that
mean we have to explicitly mention it in the 'bool "Kprobes..."' line in
arch/*/Kconfig?
