2 ideas:

Printing if the tainted module is loaded or unloaded

and/or

using the /proc/tainted interface to enable/disable loading of tainted

So that are 2 different things: a) how do we handle the tainted mods
notifications and b) if we let the user decide if he/she wants tainted
modules to be "blocked"
