Burden is on the user to do this. The distribution provides an
untainted kernel. The user chose to use an out of tree module that
taints it. It can't be claimed to be a kernel bug when an out of tree
module it used, short of the often tedious analysis of exactly how the
out of tree kernel affects kernel behavior.
