When people port these changes into their trees the version becomes
meaningless. There are so many "enterprise kernels" that combine whole
subsystems from different upstream releases.

That makes me wonder if such documentation makes sense. We want to avoid
a situation where userspace does

if (v6.6)
do()
else if (test_flags())
do()

Daniel Vetter asked for specific kernel versions in b603e810f740
("drm/uapi: document kernel capabilities"). It allows user-space to
figure out how widespread a cap is.

Well, OK then... :)
