isn't kprobes mature enough to not be considered experimental anymore?
That would vary from arch to arch.
in addition, while most of the KPROBES config options depend on
KALLSYMS && EXPERIMENTAL && MODULES
the s390 architecture depends only on
EXPERIMENTAL && MODULES
and its instrumentation support is *not* listed as experimental.
also, the avr32 entry is in the file Kconfig.debug, and depends only
on DEBUG_KERNEL. just an observation.
This probably stems from the episodic growth kprobes across different
archs. It can be cleaned up I suppose.
