PATCH 1/1 mark NFS/TCP not EXPERIMENTAL

G'day,

NFS/TCP has been used widely for a long time now, and is now enabled by many distros and typically recommended for lossy or congested networks. This patch removes the EXPERIMENTAL tag, updates the help text, and changes arch defconfigs to set it by default (note that several already did so).

[a 2.6 version follows shortly]
