Does it help that large parts of the internals manual were copied into
config/*/*.h files pre-GFDL? Certainly it would reduce the number of
people that will have to be contacted to relicense under the GPL their
contribution to the internals manual.
If the manual was distributed pre-GFDL, doesn't that mean that previous
version is available under the GPL in the first place?
AFAICT copies into config/*/*.h files are only relevant if they have been
updated more recently then the last GPL (or GPL compatible) manual version.
Or if manual somehow was only GPLv2 and not GPLv2+.
