I don't think -1 is the right choice here if we don't recognise the
version, as it means that old kernels won't work on new hardware. I think
it would be better to return the highest architecture version we know about
in that case...

... which also means we should clamp this value now that we expose it to
userspace. Otherwise, userspace can't rely on this field for anything.

That said -- please can you tell me what userspace intends to do with
this version number?
