It could be a hint but basically it's a way for userspace driver 
compatibility. For kernel we don't need this.

It's the kernel internal API, so there's no strict requirement for this. 
We will export a version value for userspace for compatibility.

My understanding is that it introduce another indirection, you still 
need to differ from different command, and it's less flexible than 
direct callback.

What's the value of doing this?
