Subject: [PATCH] tracepoint: Warn and notify if tracepoints are not loaded due
to module taint
If a module is loaded that is tainted with anything but OOT or CRAP, then
it will not create the tracepoint infrastructure for the module. The user needs
to be warned when this happens instead of exiting silently.
