Does the linux kernel have any kind of regression test package? If so,
where can I find it? If not, does anyone know of ongoing attempts to
create one?

A quick web search gave me a few pointers to attempts at this:

The Google-foo is weak in this one. :)  You missed the biggest one of all:

Too true. One of the little known secrets of working with linux is
that the web is generally the best way to learn things - not the
source code. This is messing with my head ;-) but at least I'm getting
much better at finding things then when I started. I am, however,
still only an egg (at searching). 

The Linux Test Project: http://ltp.sourceforge.net/

Enjoy.  If this doesn't address your needs, feel free to contribute to it
until it does. :)

This looks great. Thank you. 

And quite seriously, I suspect that test development is a great way to
learn - doubly so if you then turn around and fix the bugs your tests
uncover. And I've never yet seen a project where the tests weren't
suffering from bitrot or worse, so there's sure to be work to be
done.
