Subject: Print taint info in more places.

We've found in the past that various bug reports have had minimal
information, just a few printk's rather than a complete oops,
and it's taken several round-trips with the bug reporter before
we've discovered they had some proprietary module loaded.

The patches below adds dumping of the tainted state to some
extra parts of the kernel that report 'bad things' happening.
These patches have been in the Fedora kernel for some time now,
and have proved useful often.
