Subject: [PATCH] Kprobes on select architectures no longer EXPERIMENTAL

From: Ananth N Mavinakayanahalli <ananth@...ibm.com>

Based on usage and testing over the past couple of years, kprobes on
i386, ia64, powerpc and x86_64 is no longer EXPERIMENTAL.

This is a follow-up to Robert P.J. Day's patch making "Instrumentation
support" non-EXPERIMENTAL:

	http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=118396955423812&w=2

Arch maintainers for sparc64, avr32 and s390 need to take a similar call.
