Commit Message

Dan Williams April 10, 2025, 6:04 p.m. UTC 
The uuid_t type is kernel internal, and Paul reports the following build
error when it is used in a uapi header:

    usr/include/cxl/features.h:59:9: error: unknown type name ‘uuid_t’

Create a uuid type (__uapi_uuid_t) compatible with the longstanding
definition uuid/uuid.h for userspace builds, and use uuid_t directly for
kernel builds.
