include/uapi/linux/uuid.h (after the uuid lib changes) contains a
definition of the macro GUID() which is probably a bit generic a name
for a uapi include file. It also clashes with a couple of other uses
of that macro name already in the kernel (one of which produced several
warnings in linux-next today).

It produces an initializer for a guid_t (structure).
