I think an increasing integer without any mean special grouping (like
major/minor) is good enough. What we need though is a small revision log
with one-line blurbs that explain what has been added, e.g.

1: Initial version.
2: Allow streamout related registers
3: Add gen8 support

...

I think it would be good to have this as a comment right next to the
parser code itself, so what about adding a i915_cmd_parser_get_version
function to i915_cmd_parser.c who's only job is to return and integer and
contain this comment?
