If companies can't review every line of code in the kernel can the user ????

Surely not.

But GPLv3 clearly prevent an evil company to sue for patent infingment users of the code the same company distributed.

For this reason we should consider the GPLv3 a wonderful license.

Or not, if we like the power to sue innocent users...
