META lists the maximum kernel version we consider to be fully supported. However, we don't enforce this. Sometimes we ship experimental patches for a newer kernel than we're ready to support or, less often, we compile just fine against a newer kernel. Invariably, something doesn't quite work properly, and it's difficult for users to understand that they're actually running against a kernel that we're not yet ready to support. This commit tries to improve this situation. First, it simply enforces Linux-Maximum, by having configure bail out if you try to compile against a newer version that. Then, it adds the --enable-linux-experimental switch to configure. When supplied, this disables enforcing the maximum version, allowing the user to attempt to build against a kernel with version higher than Linux-Maximum. Finally, if the switch is supplied _and_ configure is run against a higher kernel version, it shows a big warning message when configure finishes, and defines HAVE_LINUX_EXPERIMENTAL for the build. This allows us to add code to modify runtime behaviour as well.
