major bump will not help, as the structure in question is not a
library interface, it's a kernel interface.  The only think library
does - is passing the structure to the syscall.  Thus, syscall
versioning is also required.

Now, I wonder if all the churn can be justified for an unused
(in-tree) library that existed in -current for less then a month.
(SA syscalls removal was way more distruptive :))))

ISTR we have precedents of not doing "proper" versioning for things
that appeared in -current and were changed before they appeared in any
release, but I cannot recall the specifics.
