[PATCH 01/15] taint: add module firmware crash taint support

[Luis Chamberlain]

Device driver firmware can crash, and sometimes, this can leave your
system in a state which makes the device or subsystem completely
useless. Detecting this by inspecting /proc/sys/kernel/tainted instead
of scraping some magical words from the kernel log, which is driver
specific, is much easier. So instead provide a helper which lets drivers
annotate this.

Once this happens, scrapers can easily look for modules taint flags
for a firmware crash. This will taint both the kernel and respective
calling module.

The new helper module_firmware_crashed() uses LOCKDEP_STILL_OK as this
fact should in no way shape or form affect lockdep. This taint is device
driver specific.
