In my opinion, a more general solution than only for linum.el would be
best, one that also makes for example line-number-mode show line numbers
that work as expected with M-x goto-line RET also for narrowed buffers.
Ideally, it should work without having to customize each of these
features (and new modes in the future) separately. I think a promising
suggestion (found in this thread) is to generalise narrowing itself,
possibly with a single new customization option instead of many.
