linux 3.0 has no micro version number, and that is causing problems
for virParseVersionString. The patch below should allow for:
major
major.minor
major.minor.micro
If major or minor are not present they just default to zero.

Well, your patch fixes the problem, but virParseVersionString is used
in more places than just kernel version parsing, therefore I think it
relaxes parsing too much and we need a stricter approach for this.
