Speaking specifically to adding 'EXPERIMENTAL', I distinctly remember at
some point in the past the config system was smart enough to print "
(EXPERIMENTAL)" if that entry depended on CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL.

We should head in that direction.

I strongly NAK the original patch from Gabriel C in this thread -- it
just adds too much redundant info. Better to add it -once-, somewhere
inside Kconfig system.
