I'm sorry, this is simply not true.

is textbook definition of boilerplate. you need to be patient to cross-reference syscall tables but certainly not smart.

I'm not saying LLMs wouldn't help with this (in fact, this is the type of thing that becomes pretty much a no-op with them) but the notion that this is "impossible by any realistic standards" is risible, and if you have actually contributed to the kernel like you say, you should know better.
