Kconfig won't select things that CONFIG_IP_SCTP select unless its "depends 
on" are satisfied, which is why I made CONFIG_DLM depend on 
CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL.

Steven says DLM hasn't been experimental for a long time; sorry, but if an 
option you select is experimental then you're experimental as well.

If you'd like to push a patch that removes EXPERIMENTAL from IP_SCTP to 
David Miller, that works too.  But that is a completely separate topic 
from dlm.  For 3.8, I suggest respecting CONFIG_IP_SCTP's requirements and 
then removing EXPERIMENTAL from both if the networking guys agree.
