Sure, but in my opinion, this whole thing is not worth it at the moment, as I've
stated before.  Not only do we have the UUID problem on the guests, we aren't
even guaranteed to have it on real hardware.  Until we have some fallback plan
for this, adding HAL (and going through the pain of trying to minimize it), and
adding this code, is not really worth it.

My 2 cents.
