Subject: module,bug: Add TAINT_OOT_MODULE flag for modules not built in-tree
X-Git-Tag: MMI-PSA29.97-13-9~18097^2

module,bug: Add TAINT_OOT_MODULE flag for modules not built in-tree

Use of the GPL or a compatible licence doesn't necessarily make the code
any good.  We already consider staging modules to be suspect, and this
should also be true for out-of-tree modules which may receive very
little review.
