Without checking specifics again - I just looked at some of the manifest
constant names, enumeration types, etc., to find almost everything in
current (2.6.27-rc7) kernel sources. I stopped looking further pretty
quickly as it seemed easier (and more correct as you also point out) to
ask the author to supply proper references if the code was indeed
derived.
