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.
