From 69f63a67165da5e9f08c1132521598701d914573 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: [PATCH] modpost: add option to allow external modules to avoid taint
In some cases, it might be desirable to package a module from an
external source tree alongside the base kernel. In those cases, it
might also be desirable to not have those modules tainting the kernel.
This patch provides a mechanism for an external module build to declare
itself as an "integrated build". Such a module is then treated the same
as an intree module.

Any thoughts on this? I'm thinking of adding this to Fedora kernels,
where I have been working to integrate the compat-wireless package as
part of the base kernel RPM.
