Can we please remove these pointless version markers entirely?

They make no sense. The kernel doesn't allow backwards incompatible
changes anyway, so the whole point of using some kind of interface
versioning is entirely bogus.

The way you test if a new feature exists or not is to just use it, and
if you're running on an old kernel that doesn't support that
operation, then it should return an error.
