(This will go into a minor detail. That's probably not what you want when posting an RFC. But this patch got caught by an email filter I use and a future, non-RFC, version will get caught too. So I decided to bother you with this now.)

So I think the loading of that module (triggered by loading another module that uses one of the exported symbols, I suppose) taints the kernel. Am I correct?
