PATCH 1/1 sched: set TAINT_UNSAFE_SMP after sleep-in-atomic bug
Usually sleep-in-atomic bugs are followed by dozens other warnings. This patch should help to figure out original source of problem. This taint flag also turns off lockdep, because it can go mad after that.
Original TAINT_UNSAFE_SMP is used only on various ancient buggy K7 Athlons. TAINT_UNSAFE_SMP is shown as 'S' in "Tainted" line, so let it be acronym for SMP, Scheduler and Sleep-in-atomic. Probably we should rename it into TAINT_SHIT, but TAINT_CRAP is already there. =)

There's already TAINT_WARN any output with that set should be ignored.

Where? I do not see here anything which might set TAINT_WARN.
Or you suggest to use TAINT_WARN instead of TAINT_UNSAFE_SMP?

Gargh, yeah it doesn't use WARN and related infrastructure to print that msg so it missed out on the whole TAINT_WARN stuff.
Yeah, make it set TAINT_WARN or possibly convert the thing to use WARN.
