In the context of the Linux kernel, the GPL/LGPL issue is not important, as the "LGPL->GPL conversion clause" means both can be treated as the GPL. Of course, with the FDL on the way, that adds some ambiguity; it's best to get a clarification from the original author(s) or copyright holder(s), if possible.
