REGPARM has already gotten much testing, what about removing the
dependency on EXPERIMENTAL?
Additionally, this patch does:
- remove the useless "default n"
- remove note regarding binary only modules (nowadays, there are even
some binary only modules compiled with REGPARM=y available)

Compile the kernel with -mregparm=3. This uses a different ABI
and passes the first three arguments of a function call in registers.
- This will probably break binary only modules.

I had no problem with it since I started using it from 2.6.8
on. (Some machines starting with 2.6.11 because I forgot to activate it in
menuconfig.)

Prop nvidia module (1.0-4496 tho) works with REGPARM=y.
