When reviewing the history of xen-compat.h, it appeared that the version was 
bumped
for each incompatible change.  Considering there are 8 bits of sub-minor space, 
why
wouldn't it be bumped?  It allows an integrator of new headers to review all 
change sets
associated with this one header file to understand the work required for an 
import.
