I dunno, there are a lot of integers available.  I would prefer to see
an ABI bump per ABI change, and if the outside world only sees ABI 3 in
1.4 and ABI 7 in 1.5, who cares.  But then, I know I also get uselessly
grumpy when an ABI change that doesn't affect my driver makes me have to
rebuild, so I don't think I care enough to fight about it.

I think this is where someone comes in and tells us if we just use some
symbol versioning scheme instead we all get a pony for Christmas.
