The requirement is _not_ to have the word "kernel" literally where one talks about the Linux kernel. The requirement is to use "GNU/Linux" where one talks about something that is _not_ the kernel. So, in the cases where Pierre suggested to add the word "kernel", that is not needed. It is enough to establish that the text is about the Linux kernel, and not about GNU/Linux as a system. How to express that in Awk-ish, is another matter. Judging just by the cases in Pierre's patch, it sounds like having on the same text line words like "kernel", "register", "target", and a numeric version string X.Y are telltale signs that the kernel is being discussed. Perhaps we can start with these words, and add more as needed in the future.
