Subject: [PATCH] VSOCK: mark virtio_transport.ko experimental

Be explicit that the virtio_transport.ko code implements a draft virtio
specification that is still subject to change.

Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@...hat.com>

If you'd rather wait until the device specification has been finalized, feel
free to revert the virtio-vsock code for now.  Apologies for not mentioning the
status in the Kconfig earlier.

 	  This module implements a virtio transport for Virtual Sockets.

 	  Enable this transport if your Virtual Machine runs on Qemu/KVM.
