It shouldn't. A RFC4122 uuid is always in "big endian" notation.
A little endiane uuid doesn't exist, it's called a GUID in Wintel
speak and isn't used in NVMe. My new uuid tree tries to fix up
the confusion by renaming our uuid_be type to uuid_t and uuid_le
to guid_t.

That's actually a good point. Just needs to be uuid_be_gen/uuid_gen :)
