smbios: Encode UUID according to SMBIOS specification
Differently from older versions, SMBIOS version 2.6 is explicit about the encoding of UUID fields: > Although RFC 4122 recommends network byte order for all fields, the PC > industry (including the ACPI, UEFI, and Microsoft specifications) has > consistently used little-endian byte encoding for the first three fields: > time_low, time_mid, time_hi_and_version. The same encoding, also known as > wire format, should also be used for the SMBIOS representation of the UUID. > > The UUID {00112233-4455-6677-8899-AABBCCDDEEFF} would thus be represented > as 33 22 11 00 55 44 77 66 88 99 AA BB CC DD EE FF. The dmidecode tool implements this and decodes the above "wire format" when SMBIOS version >= 2.6. We moved from SMBIOS version 2.4 to 2.8 when we started building the SMBIOS entry point inside QEMU, on commit c97294ec. Change smbios_build_type_1_table() to encode the UUID as specified. To make sure we won't change the guest-visible UUID when upgrading to a newer QEMU version, keep the old behavior on pc-*-2.1 and older.
