sbp2: provide helptext for CONFIG_IEEE1394_SBP2_PHYS_DMA and mark it experimental

It appears I will not get it fixed overnight.

+         support physical DMA or for when ohci1394 is run with phys_dma=0.
+         Physical DMA is data movement without assistence of the drivers'
+         interrupt handlers.  This option includes the interrupt handlers
+         that are required in absence of this hardware feature.

+         This option is buggy and currently broken on some architectures.
+         If unsure, say N.
