My understanding is that:
1) generate_random_uuid() use is allegedly bad even though it's in their
header,
2) poking directly at the byte array inside uuid_t is bad, even though,
again, header.

It is, indeed, not ideal.

If agreeable, I'll update this patch to the below and respin the whole
series.

Subject: [PATCH] stm class: Use correct UUID APIs

It appears that the STM code didn't manage to accurately decypher the
delicate inner workings of an alternative thought process behind the
UUID API and directly called generate_random_uuid() that clearly needs
to be a static function in lib/uuid.c.

At the same time, said STM code is poking directly at the byte array
inside the uuid_t when it uses the UUID for its internal purposes.

Fix these two transgressions by using intended APIs instead.
