+Bits 16 and 31 are specific to the SUSE kernels. Starting with SLE15-SP6,
+loading an externally supported module does not taint the kernel, but bit 16 (X)
+is still tracked per module and can be read in `/sys/module/$MODULE/taint`.
+Additionally, since SLE15-SP6, an unsupported module is indicated by the 'n'
+character, whereas it was previously represented by 'N'.
 
 Out-of-tree modules do not have the supported flag set by default; that
 is, they are marked as unsupported. For building externally supported
