Title: wrote KernelTaint goodie

**What does your instant answer do?**

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

**What problem does your instant answer solve (Why is it better than organic links)?**

The value is not easily human readable, this makes it so, the organic results are unable to cover the full range.

**What is the data source for your instant answer? (Provide a link if possible)**

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/sysctl/kernel.txt (unfortunately, no anchor links ;-))

**Why did you choose this data source?**

It's the data source to be!

**Are there any other alternative (better) data sources?**

No.

**What are some example queries that trigger this instant answer?**

kernel taint 5121

**Which communities will this instant answer be especially useful for? (gamers, book lovers, etc)**

Linux!

**Is this instant answer connected to a DuckDuckHack instant answer idea?**

Not to my knowledge.

**Which existing instant answers will this one supercede/overlap with?**

It's the first of its kind!

**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.
