I don't understand where the version number went. Now my question is is
there only one version of this (ever). It's not specific enough unless
there's a version register that can be relied on.

This patch needs to answer any questions raised in previous versions.
Assume the reviewers don't remember your patch and will ask the same
questions again otherwise.
