Tainted kernels

[Aleksandar Kostadinov]

FYI if you get on oop and then another one, then kernel would show 
tainted by the initial oop. That makes it sometimes hard to report an issue.

In the oops reporter you can see capital letters flags about the 
taintedness of the kernel. There was some doc documented what each flag 
means.
