report-that-kernel-is-tainted-if-there-were-an-oops-before.patch:

+  8: 'D' if a kernel has died recently, i.e. there was an OOPS or BUG
+      before, ' ' otherwise. This is useful when seeing the calltrace
+      from SysRq-P output.

I suspect that patch has gone bad and it's reporting 'D' for the very first
oops, which it shouldn't do.

But I haven't checked that theory.
