That only covers normal system calls - but I don't think thats what is relevant, taints are for debug assistance not politics. I think we should have a taint flag for UIO type drivers. Not for any licensing or political reason but for the simple fact it means that there may be other complexities to debugging - and not the same one as a binary module. Probably we want the same marker for mmap /dev/mem too.
