I can confirm that this is fixed for me as of latest master:

$ dmesg | grep wireguard
[   50.396241] wireguard: module verification failed: signature and/or 
required key missing - tainting kernel
[   50.396675] wireguard: WireGuard 0.0.20180802-11-gc6505ee loaded. See

Thanks for the quick patch.  I started with a pretty naive approach on 
my netlink message chunking implementation, but I'm glad I was able to 
help find a problem that way.

I'll be sure to report anything else I find, but at this point, I think 
I'm feature-complete for both userspace and kernel APIs.
