All IR or bitcode operations (e.g. LTO) rely on LLVM major version to be matching, otherwise it may generate errors, or worse, miscompile silently due to change of IR semantics. It's usually suggested to use the exact same LLVM version, but this can be difficult to guarantee. Rust's suggestion [1] is also major-version only, so I think this check is sufficient for the kernel.
