    Unified UUID/GUID definition · fab1c232
    Huang Ying 提交于
    There are many different UUID/GUID definitions in kernel, such as that
    in EFI, many file systems, some drivers, etc. Every kernel components
    need UUID/GUID has its own definition. This patch provides a unified
    definition for UUID/GUID.
    
    UUID is defined via typedef. This makes that UUID appears more like a
    preliminary type, and makes the data type explicit (comparing with
    implicit "u8 uuid[16]").
    
    The binary representation of UUID/GUID can be little-endian (used by
    EFI, etc) or big-endian (defined by RFC4122), so both is defined.
