I don't think there is a generic answer to this. #ifdef is used for
number of different purposes.. Some of these are automatically set based
on other parameters and those should not be added manually or described
in defconfig. Some are used for testing purposes only, so not really
"experimental", but for something that should not be included in a
production build.

If you have a specific build option in mind, I could give a more
specific answer, but I'm not going to be speculating on these in more
generic sense.

I'm not sure from where you generate this list, but half of those do not
exist at all in the current hostap.git snapshot. CONFIG_BGSCAN_* looks
like the only case that should actually be included in
wpa_supplicant/defconfig.
