Subject: [PATCH] remove EXPERIMENTAL from NFS_FSCACHE

Hi,

there's currently an open Ubuntu bug[0], with the intent to compile 
NFS_FSCACHE (and possibly AFS_FSCACHE, 9P_FSCACHE) into the standard 
Ubuntu kernel. However, since *_FSCACHE still depends on EXPERIMENTAL, 
this won't happen.

As Arjan van de Ven pointed out[1], the EXPERIMENTAL flag doesn't mean 
that much any more, I propose the following patch to fs/nfs/Kconfig. I'd 
do the same for fs/9p/Kconfig and fs/afs/Kconfig, but as I did not test 9p 
or AFS, I feel it would not be appropriate for me to remove the flag.

Please consider applying.

Thanks,
Christian.
