	The "this dingus was added in version X.Y.Z" is there because
users sometimes read the most recent version of the documentation (that
they get from the internet) and then would become confused when their
older distro driver lacked some option described in the documentation.

I disagree with this whole concept, because distros backport features
like this into their kernel and therefore the feature is showing up in
version X.Y.$(Z-20).

And distro kernels are what %99.9999 of users are exposed to.

Therefore, I think this version specification is not only pointless
but even a possible cause of confusion.
