Instead of storing the version in a single integer and having various
kernel (and userspace) code how it's constructed, export individual
(major, patchlevel, sublevel) components and simplify kernel code that
uses it.

This should also make it easier on userspace.

No need for the casts and braces.

Otherwise this looks good, but please also kill off KERNEL_VERSION
and LINUX_KERNEL_VERSION entirely while you're at it.

I don't think there are in-tree users left?

We can't remove it completely because userspace is still using it, so if
we drop those userspace will be sad.

I agree.

Shall I remove the casts when I apply this?

Right.
Once we export a macros to userspace, we cannot remove it.

Wait, this patch does not work.
None of the submitter or reviewers
tested this patch... Sigh.

Please send a correct patch,
also drop the unneeded casts.

Sorry about that, I've hand edited the patch right before sending it out
and obviously messed it up. I'll resend.
