[PATCH] uml: arch Kconfig menu cleanups
*) mark as "EXPERIMENTAL" various items that either aren't very stable or
that are actively crashing the setup of users which don't really need them
(i.e. HIGHMEM and 3-level pagetables on x86 - nobody needs either,
everybody reports "I'm using it and getting trouble").
*) move net/Kconfig near to the rest of network configurations, and
drivers/block/Kconfig near "Block layer" submenu.
*) it's useless and doesn't work well to force NETDEVICES on and to disable
the prompt like it's done. Better remove the attempt, and change that to a
simple "default y if UML".
*) drop the warning about "report problems about HPPFS" - it's redundant
anyway, as that's the usual procedure, and HPPFS users are especially
technical (i.e. they know reporting bugs is _good_).
