    So this is two patches in one. I took the last part, the printing of the
    taint flags thing, not the first part.

    I did a small patch adding TAINT_FIRMWARE_WORKAROUND to the list of
    TAINTS that shouldn't disable lockdep.

    As for OOT_MODULE, with staging the only reason not to merge a module is
    it being the wrong license and I really can't be arsed about OOT stuff
    anyway, so no.
