If we deal the max_mapnr_64 as below I did, we do not have to check
header_version everywhere when we need to the value max_mapnr. I just
set it to max_mapnr_64 regardless it's old version or new in the first
place we get it. It can simplify the code logic in all code. Or we have
to add this version check, it's also error prone.

I have explained the reason why I set the kh.max_mapnr_64 for old
version here.
If you still think we shouldn't change this value, and should check
header_version everywhere when need max_mapnr, I will send a new version
to change it.
