Use OS version number in the guest ID as recommended by Microsoft

So how about something like this?  Yes, I know including
linux/version.h often is unwanted, but the spec does
recommend using the actual OS version in the guest ID

Yes, this will be offensive again when Linux is at 
version 181.0, but we might have found a better solution by
then :-)
