I don't think we want to version the blobs. For one, we don't have a way
for userspace to ask for a specific version, so the kernel wouldn't know
which version it should return to each client.

If we ever need to come up with new version of a specific blob, I think we
just have to define another property for it. Either that or we'd some kind
of client cap stuff to negotiate the used version between the kernel and
a specific client.

Well, I suppose we migth be able to borrow the "flags+extend at the end"
trick we sometimes use for ioctl parameters to work for blobs too. But I
have a feeling we don't want to go there.

So yeah, I think we should go with the "blob layout is fixed for each
property" approach. Versioning then happens by introducing new versions
of the same property if needed.
