So you say this implementation does work. So sorry, no.

NACK.

What we want is lots of small patches which are obviously correct. If
this code is correct, you could simply move it to a shared
location. Code which disappears from one file and reappears in another
file, no other changes, is obviously correct. You can make this clear
in the commit message: Moving code into a shared location. No
functional changes intended.

Once moved, you can then do refactoring changes, which when combined
with a good commit message should be obviously correct.

In linux, you do not throw code away and replace it with a new
implementation. You step by step transform it.
