From 48a2e88f53aea4dface64883157ad3c428132f75 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andy Shevchenko Date: Mon, 24 Feb 2020 17:37:50 +0200 Subject: uuid: Provide a GUID generator for raw buffer In some cases we would like to generate a GUID and export it. Though it would require either casting to internal kernel types or an intermediate buffer. Instead we may achieve this by supplying a pointer to raw buffer and make a complimentary API to existing one for UUIDs.
