Backport #975 from trunk:
Warn the user if he/she recalls a sample with EXPERIMENTAL features.
Also, print the EXPERIMENTAL status when listing the samples.

NB: even it is not purely a fix backport, it is still very important that the user gets warned about the EXPERIMENTAL status of the samples.

     4 fnstsw stores 16bit into %ax. The upper 16bit of %eax is unchanged.
     5 The new assembler (binutils-2.18.50.0.4 and up) will disallow "fnstsw %eax".
