    Subject[ 025/105] module: taint kernel when lve module is loaded
    3.2-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

    ------------------

    From: Matthew Garrett <mjg59@srcf.ucam.org>

    commit c99af3752bb52ba3aece5315279a57a477edfaf1 upstream.

    Cloudlinux have a product called lve that includes a kernel module. This
    was previously GPLed but is now under a proprietary license, but the
    module continues to declare MODULE_LICENSE("GPL") and makes use of some
    EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL symbols. Forcibly taint it in order to avoid this.
