We removed the version because it did not make sense. Even if we put in 
the version back we will have to maintain it and will have a similar 
case where the version number in the kernel is way behind the tools 
versions because of lack of updating. Add to it the confusion of users 
who would not know which version to quote.

I suggest the Oracle CRS should be modified to use the kernel version as 
opposed to the ocfs2 kernel module specific versions.
