This parses strange to me, maybe it is trying to capture too many
changes in too few sentences? Something like this instead?

"CXL CPER events are identified by the CPER Section Type GUID. The GUID
correlates with the CXL UUID for the event record. It turns out that a
CXL CPER record is a strict subset of the CXL event record, only the
UUID header field is chopped.

In order to unify handling between native and CPER flavors of CXL
events, prepare the code for the UUID to be passed in rather than
inferred from the record itself.

Later patches update the passed in record to only refer to the common
data between the formats."

Hmm, is it too late to make this rename? I.e. would a script that is
looking for "hdr_uuid" in one kernel be broken by the rename of the
field to "uuid" in the next?

Per above this would be:

	memcpy(&__entry->hdr_uuid, (uuid), sizeof(uuid_t));				\

...and this change could be dropped.

Other than that, this looks good to me.
