In support of fixing a pfn info-block interpretation problem that requires a backwards incompatible format change introduce a mechanism to indicate a minimum support level to the parsing agent. Hopefully this mechanism never needs to be used, but it otherwise prevents the need to hunt for a state that causes old implementations to bail out. For now, the method chosen to make implementations prior to this introduction fail is to use new PFN3_MODE_* values. The use of 'mode' ensures that older Linux fails, but agents like the EFI driver that only care about 'data_offset' can continue to ignore the requirement. That is to say 'data_offset' should always be valid, but the interpretation of values that older Linux kernels use to setup the dev_pagemap and perform sector-to-pfn translations is going to change.
