You can't use GNU GPL for this project. The kernel as a whole is licensed under GNU GPL, but some source files aren't. The file you linked doesn't mention GNU GPL. Somebody needs to verify that the file you linked can be legally re-licensed under the MIT license. If not, I think you have to forget the contents of the file immediately, but I'm not a lawyer.
