This function just convert the argument as string into
a number, it shouldn't be affected by external factors.

You should use info->kernel_version in the caller side if
you want to avoid duplicate calling of this function, but
I think it's unnecessary since this function is small.

You should replace get_versiondep_info_x86_64() with get_versiondep_info()
to get rid of #ifdef.
#ifdef is messy, I don't want to use it if possible.


Thanks
