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.
