Subject: [PATCH] add module taint on ndiswrapper

The struct module taints member is supposed to store per-module taint
data. The kernel knows about certain specific external modules that will
taint the kernel, such as ndiswrapper. Use of ndiswrapper possibly
should set the per-module taint in addition to the global kernel
taint flag, unless we're arguing not because wrapper module itself
is not what actually causes the kernel to be tainted as such?
