The core code is extracted from a current CF patch, so I think in

I haven't looked at it in detail, but regarding the test code I'm not
sure why there's a .control file, since this isn't a loadable extension,
not why there's a test_oat_hooks.h file.

Yes, and in any case we've added test code after feature freeze in the past.
