Sure make sense, I wasn't quite sure how to make this quite clear,
a naming convention seems good to me but I also had added at least
a print about this on the log. Ideally I think a TAIN_DEBUG would
be best and it seems it could be useful for many other cases in
the kernel, we could also just re-use TAINT_CRAP as well. Thoughts?
Greg?
TAINT_CRAP is for drivers/staging/ code, don't try to repurpose it for
some other horrid option.  There's no reason we can't add more taint
flags for this.
OK thanks, I'll add TAINT_DEBUG. Any preference where to stuff struct
driver_attach_work *attach_work ? On the private data structure as
this patch currently implements, saving us 24 bytes and hiding it from
drivers, or stuffing it on the device driver and simplifying the core
code?
