Between v4.13 and v4.13.4 (included) the default is 3.0, not sure if
we should be so precise here.

Grumble...the merge of that feature outside the normal merge window
makes this difficult to document. How about this?

    The default since v4.13.5 is for the client and server to negotiate 
    the highest possible version greater than or equal to ``2.1``. In
    kernels prior to v4.13, the default was ``1.0``. For kernels
    between v4.13 and v4.13.5 the default is ``3.0``.

It's still awkward, but I think it's correct.
