I'm not a kernel developer, so take the following comment from the peanut gallery with a grain of salt..

When I see "job that has to be remembered every time ... to avoid regressions ...", I can't help but think that a test suite for the in-kernel version of the LZ4 code would be an appropriate approach to deal with this.

LZ4: vendoring in the kernel

Some explicit rule, like: "For any patches applied to vendored source, there must be at least a regression test added."?
(Along with another rule: "Any files that are vendored from external projects should include an explicit comment about it's origin, version and a reference to the regression test rule for patches.")
