unexpected taint message

To whoever may know,

Upon loading our driver module I get the following message:

kernel: [ 344.805106] Disabling lock debugging due to kernel taint

What exactly are the criteria for tainting? Our driver locking strategy
is something we want to refactor and having lock debugging during that
transition may be a life safer.
