No tests whatsoever. This isn't getting close to being merged into mainline and it will stay out-of-tree for a long time.

That's even before taking on the brutal linux kernel mailing lists for code review explaining what that C code does which could be riddled with bugs that Claude generated.

No thanks and no deal.

Upvoted you however it did solve the author’s problem and if he decides to post to GitHub then it could help someone later. Plenty of people working on retro architectures that wish they had things like this
