i386: Mark NUMA support experimental I did some testing and found quite a lot of problems (doesn't boot at all on non NUMA and misassigns cores on Opteron systems). Mark it as experimental and warn against its use for now. It's still default y for SUMMIT/NUMAQ because it'll presumably work on these systems.
