Push experimental tags to host drivers that still need it so we can
remove the "global" experimental tag for PATA drivers.
I hear that some issues are being worked on but the patch reflects
the current situation and we can trivially update status of affected
host drivers after new fixes are merged.

I don't think that the problems you've mentioned fit the definition of
the EXPERIMENTAL tag - it means that the driver isn't likely suitable
for general use. Given that those drivers are probably used by
significant numbers of people successfully in various distributions I
don't think this is likely to be the case. There may be bugs but
non-experimental does not imply bug free.
