And btw, the licenses there are not compatible:

Pointing to:

IANAL, but, AFAIKT, is not compatible with GPL version 2[1].
[1] at least, there's a comment here:

I didn't read it in full, but it seems to be endorsed by CC
people:
https://creativecommons.org/2015/10/08/cc-by-sa-4-0-now-one-way-compatible-with-gplv3/
Btw, even if this were using CC BY-SA 4.0, it would still be
incompatible with GPL v2, as the one-way compatibility is just
with v3.
So, porting texts/documents from/to wikibooks can be an issue from
legal standpoint.
If you want to contribute with Kernel docs, the best way would be
to send additions/improvements against the Kernel tree to the
linux-doc mailing list.
