[PATCH 0/1] vmx: Fix <genid/> mapping

[Richard W.M. Jones]

Looking at the qemu code the problem IMHO is:

https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/blob/6b54a31bf7b403672a798b6443b1930ae6c74dea/docs/specs/vmgenid.txt#L189
https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/blob/6b54a31bf7b403672a798b6443b1930ae6c74dea/hw/acpi/vmgenid.c#L37

This byte swapping makes no sense to me.  How do we know that the
guest is little endian?  What will this code do for BE guests?  I
think qemu would be better off treating the "GUID" as a list of bytes
and writing that exactly into the guest memory.

Rich.
