Some rewording of this comment is necessary to fix the English grammar.
And Linux style is not to put comment closing on same line.

Something like:

/* The Linux kernel does not implement 128 bit divide and modulus operations.
 * Implement these operations using shift-subtract division algorithm
 * from Chrome.
 * https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/third_party/+/master/abseil-cpp/absl/numeric/int128.cc
 */

Also, the int128 code you referenced is Apache licensed (not GPL-v2 like kernel).

For div128_u128 the function should be static to avoid name conflicts.

The declarations need to be in reverse christmas tree order as well.

It does seem a bit like overkill since doing source address over a 64 bit
range should be more than enough for any test in this decade.
