I have a suggestion below.  But whether or not you choose to
incorporate it:

I think I'd rather see this more like:

	u32	*up = (u32 *)&uuid.b;

	/* The lower bytes of the four result fields encode the UUID */
	*up++ = lower_32_bits(res.a0);
	*up++ = lower_32_bits(res.a1);
	*up++ = lower_32_bits(res.a2);
	*up = lower_32_bits(res.a3);

Basically I think casting the assigned-to value makes things
harder to read.  So doing that cast just once seems simpler.
But it's not a big deal.
