From 57673c2b0baa900dddae3b9eb3d7748ebf550eb3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rusty Russell Date: Mon, 31 Mar 2014 14:39:57 +1030 Subject: Use 'E' instead of 'X' for unsigned module taint flag. Takashi Iwai says: > The letter 'X' has been already used for SUSE kernels for very long > time, to indicate the external supported modules. Can the new flag be > changed to another letter for avoiding conflict...? > (BTW, we also use 'N' for "no support", too.) Note: this code should be cleaned up, so we don't have such maps in three places!
