If you want these patches to be reviewed, you really need to submit a
proper patch series. Please look at
Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst for all the details.
You will also want to make the code compliant with the kernel's coding
style.
I have not reviewed this code (nor am I really the person to do a proper
review), but this jumped at me:

Busy waits in the memory-management code are going to raise a lot of
eyebrows, and you really need to document what you think that barrier()
call is doing. I suspect it's not giving you the protection you think it
is.
