docs: Update documentation to reflect what TAINT_CPU_OUT_OF_SPEC means

Here's a patch updating the meaning of TAINT_CPU_OUT_OF_SPEC after
Borislav introduced changes in a7e1f67e and upcoming patches in tip.

TAINT_CPU_OUT_OF_SPEC now means a bit more what it implies as the
flag isn't set just because of a CPU misconfiguration or mismatch.
Historically it was for SMP kernel oops on an officially SMP incapable
processor but now it also covers CPUs whose MSRs have been incorrectly
poked at from userspace, drivers being used on non supported
architectures, broken firmware, mismatched CPUs, ...

Update documentation and script to reflect that.

  1)  ``F`` if any module was force loaded by ``insmod -f``, ``' '`` if all
      modules were loaded normally.
 
- 2)  ``S`` if the oops occurred on an SMP kernel running on hardware that
-     hasn't been certified as safe to run multiprocessor.
-     Currently this occurs only on various Athlons that are not
-     SMP capable.
+ 2)  ``S`` if the kernel is running on a processor or system that is out of
+     specification: hardware has been put into an unsupported configuration,
+     therefore proper execution cannot be guaranteed.
+     Kernel will be tainted if, for example:
+
+     - on x86: PAE is forced through forcepae on intel CPUs (such as Pentium M)
+       which do not report PAE but may have a functional implementation, an SMP
+       kernel is running on non officially capable SMP Athlon CPUs, MSRs are
+       being poked at from userspace.
+     - on arm: kernel running on certain CPUs (such as Keystone 2) without
+       having certain kernel features enabled.
+     - on arm64: there are mismatched hardware features between CPUs, the
+       bootloader has booted CPUs in different modes.
+     - certain drivers are being used on non supported architectures (such as
+       scsi/snic on something else than x86_64, scsi/ips on non
+       x86/x86_64/itanium, have broken firmware settings for the
+       irqchip/irq-gic on arm64 ...).
 
  3)  ``R`` if a module was force unloaded by ``rmmod -f``, ``' '`` if all
      modules were unloaded normally.
