Yes, this certainly can be done with an ABI version change. I was trying
to do this without doing that as I thought it could be done and that
would be easier for users.

It certainly is more deterministic if there is an ABI version change in
that the errors can be disambiguated better but is it required if an
ioctl is added or alternatively rmpp_version bit is "stolen" ?
