Once userspace has done this, the driver can no longer guarantee the sanctity of either the OS or the hardware. When in this state, it is helpful for kernel developers to be made aware (via this taint flag) of this fact for subsequent bug reports. Example usage: - Hardware xyzzy accepts 2 commands, waldo and fred. - The xyzzy driver provides an interface for using waldo, but not fred. - quux is convinced they really need the fred command. - xyzzy driver allows quux to frob hardware to initiate fred. - kernel gets tainted. - turns out fred command is borked, and scribbles over memory. - developers laugh while closing quux's subsequent bug report.
