Subject: [patch for-3.8] net, sctp: remove CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL

From: Kees Cook <keescook@...omium.org>

This config item has not carried much meaning for a while now and is
almost always enabled by default. As agreed during the Linux kernel
summit, remove it.

 Ah, look what I found in my mailbox from October 23.  The patch for dlm
 was merged, but this wasn't for some reason.  It's acked by the 
 maintainer so it should be good to go and fixes the reported build error:

        net/built-in.o: In function `sctp_crc32c':
        include/net/sctp/checksum.h:51: undefined reference to `crc32c'
        include/net/sctp/checksum.h:51: undefined reference to `crc32c'
        include/net/sctp/checksum.h:51: undefined reference to `crc32c'
        include/net/sctp/checksum.h:51: undefined reference to `crc32c'
        include/net/sctp/checksum.h:51: undefined reference to `crc32c'
        net/built-in.o:include/net/sctp/checksum.h:51: more undefined references to `crc32c' follow

 And I guess "dlm not being marked experimental for a long time" meant
 three months.
