While I think all the defconfigs that have CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL
should have those lines removed, this seems sensible enough.

$ git grep -w CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL -- "*defconfig*" | wc -l
216

Acked-by: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com>

Here's a little script to remove the CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL
lines from all the defconfigs too:

$ git grep -w --name-only CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL -- "*defconfig*" | \
  xargs sed -i -e '/CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL=[yn]/d'
