Hi Leif,

This looks largely there, but I have some small comments inline.

You could use u32 for the parameters to reinforce the point that they're
words.

I think you want asmlinkage for this function.

Maybe have a single return here returning a ret value which you assign in
the conditional blocks.

EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL?
