Hi all,
I still have this patch sitting in my queue for next merge
window; I missed the previous one. Is it still current?
Thanks,
Rusty.

Subject: module: taint kernel when lve module is loaded
Date: Fri, 22 Jun 2012 13:49:31 -0400
Cloudlinux have a product called lve that includes a kernel module. This
was previously GPLed but is now under a proprietary license, but the
module continues to declare MODULE_LICENSE("GPL") and makes use of some
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL symbols. Forcibly taint it in order to avoid this.
