The string "41506372" encodes the position of the queen in each row.

1e8/9 gives 11111111.1111..., and adding 10^x changes a digit from 1 to 2 at position x.

The bitwise operation is a short way to cause a conversion to integer, removing the fractional part, and finally, join inserts line feeds in between the numbers.

Following the standard calling convention for Unix-like systems (from the System V AMD64 ABI), this takes in RDI a memory address at which to place the result, as a null-terminated byte string in ISO-8859-1.

In assembly:

f:	push -41; pop rax   # Set RAX to -41: low byte 0xD7, other bytes 0xFF.
	cdq                 # Set EDX to -1 by sign-extending EAX.
r4:	mov cl, 0b00010000  # Set CL to 2*8.
r:	rol rax, cl         # Rotate RAX left by the value of CL.
	    # CL will always be a multiple of 8; this moves the 0xD7 byte.
	stosq               # Write RAX to the string, advancing the pointer.
	mov [rdi], '\n'     # Add a line feed to the string.
	scasb               # Advance past it while comparing it with AL.
	add cl, 0b01001000  # Add 1*8+64 to CL.
	jnc r               # Jump if no carry; iterate 4 times.
	inc edx             # Add 1 to EDX.
	jz r4               # Jump (here resetting CL) if it's 0.
	mov [rdi], dh       # Add a 0 byte from DH to the string.
	ret                 # Return.

The output is:

ÿÿ×ÿÿÿÿÿ
ÿÿÿÿÿ×ÿÿ
ÿ×ÿÿÿÿÿÿ
ÿÿÿÿÿÿ×ÿ
×ÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ
ÿÿÿ×ÿÿÿÿ
ÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ×
ÿÿÿÿ×ÿÿÿ

This solution was chosen for the pattern formed by the horizontal offsets between queen positions in adjacent rows, wrapping around and starting at 0; those offsets are 2, 3, 4, 5, 2, 3, 4, 5.
