[PATCH] selftests: Add a taint selftest

[Andrew Delgadilo]

From: Andrew Delgadillo <adelg@xxxxxxxxxx>

When testing a kernel, one of the earliest signals one can get is if a
kernel has become tainted. For example, an organization might be
interested in mass testing commits on their hardware. An obvious first
step would be to make sure every commit boots, and a next step would be
to make sure there are no warnings/crashes/lockups, hence the utility of
a taint test.
