Not that bad, you can look at it as a decoding library.

Low risk, it's a small file unlikely to change in the future.

Anyway, since you mention testing, I wonder how regularly SWP emulation
gets tested on arm32 (and in future arm64). If Punit has some tests
already, it may be good to add them somewhere like
tools/testing/selftests/arm/ (probably separately from this series).
