[RFC][PATCH]add EXPERIMENTAL config entry

[Hamo]

Add EXPERIMENTAL config entry so that we can make all ARM-related
entries depend on this now.
We need to make all the ARM-related code available to ALL so that we
can attract those interested in ARM to join us. During this process,
some of the code may not be usable, so we need this to ensure that
those normal users will not be upset with it.

It is nice for everyone to have access to work in progress code but I am
going to have to nak this only because config EXPERIMENTAL is way to broad
and it opens the door for everyone to submit their half backed code arm or
not. Then we end up with a tree full of unfinished code. I would consider
acking something like config WIP_ARM or EXPERIMENTAL_ARM only because I
would be really happy to see arm support. Sorry.
