Since the introduction of DPDK to OVS, the userspace deployment of OVS has
been considered "experimental". A number of areas were identified to be
improved upon before the tag could be removed.

There has been a conscious effort to address these areas. The improvements
to userspace (specifically regarding DPDK) include:

1. Improved documentation for user deployment and feature usage with DPDK.
2. Improved feature parity between kernel and userspace with DPDK.
3. Introduction of unit tests for DPDK specific components.
4. Availability of deployment/configuration of OVS and DPDK via multiple OS
vendor repos.

As such this patch proposes the removal of the experimental warning tag for
OVS userspace deployments throughout the documentation.
