Kernel tainted

Hello, I see that my kernel is tainted but I don't know which module
to blame. The taint code is 4096, so it must be a out-of-tree module.
I have listed all modules, and all seem to be in-tree, I have used
this command:

# lsmod | awk {'print $1'} | xargs modinfo | grep intree

and all modules have intree: Y

I have examined the kernel logs, but can't find why the kernel is
tainted. I haven't compiled any kernel module myself, all are bundled
in Fedora 16 default kernel.

How can I debug this? These are the modules loaded:
