No objection to the idea of this, but I think the user interface is a bit painful.
Who remembers those bitmasks?  It would be better if it used the names the kernel uses,
so we could do something like

--taint=DIE,BAD_PAGE

Makes the parser a little more complicated, but imo would be much more usable.

thoughts?
