I think it may be better to remove the EXPERIMENTAL status of
ARM_PATCH_PHYS_VIRT, and make the option default to 'y' now, so that
we start building all kernels with this enabled.  If people don't
want it (and know what they're doing) they can disable it manually
(maybe make the option only appear for EXPERT).

Lets see about that after this merge window is over.
