[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 4/4] drm/i915: taint the kernel if unsafe module parameters are set

[Jani Nikula]

Taint the kernel if the semaphores, enable_rc6, enable_fbc, or ppgtt
module parameters are modified. These module parameters are for
debugging and testing only, and should never be changed from their
platform specific default values by the users. We do not provide support
for people enabling all the experimental features. Make this clear by
tainting the kernel if the parameters are set.
