Instead of trying them all to see what taints the kernel, run "find" over /etc/modules/<kernelversion> to find all modules installed, and use some program that print out the taintedness for each file. Simple, and works even for modules that never gets loaded during normal use.
I don't know if such a program exists, but it should be trivial to make, just paste the kernel "tainting" code into a ordinary program.
