Parses and explains the OR'd values of /proc/sys/kernel/tainted.

**Are you having any problems? Do you need our help with anything?**

Design! It's not too pretty. Maybe a list'd be good? Is there a canonical way to use DDG styles yet?

**Testing**

I've tested on Firefox 26 on Linux. It's not doing anything fancy.
