There are few functions here and there along with type definitions

Well.  It converts two current users.

There are many references to "uuid" in the tree.  How many sites
could
potentially benefit from this change?

The big chunk is ACPI [1] though Rafael pointed out to some type
dereferencing he didn't get [2]. (By the way there is already use of
such in ACPI code from 2010: drivers/acpi/apei/ghes.c). That's why I
postponed that change.

This has been tested for a while internally, however it doesn't
mean we covered
all possible cases (especially accuracy of UUID constants after
conversion).
So, please test this as much as you can and provide your tag. We
appreciate the
effort.

I'm not sure who this series was aimed at but I saw "lib" and grabbed
it.  I'll await Matt's ack.

Yes, this is lib/ stuff, I hope the rest would provide Ack.
