Old binaries would have done the wrong thing - that's an ABI
issue. I'm sorry I didn't realise this earlier.

Yes, we are adding a new API to avoid ABI problems with
re-interpreting the old API.
But whether it's API or ABI, it doesn't matter - my point is that
it's almost 2 weeks after the merge window was opened and adding new
userspace APIs at the last moment before the merge window closes
tends to be frowned upon....
> Old code and old binary will work as before.
Yes, but we have no new code or binaries to test the new interface,
do we?
Cheers,
Dave.
