One thing that is clear in the GPL: If you link the kernel with something
else to an executable, the resulting blob (and therefore the sources to the
proprietary part) must be GPL.
Linking by making certain parts shared libraries is already a gray zone.
If in doubt, release everything. It also offers users the possibility to
find your bugs.
