Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Check dmi version when get system uuid
Date: Wed, 25 Jul 2012 19:04:57 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <500FD2D9.4050007@oracle.com> (raw)

As of version 2.6 of the SMBIOS specification, the first 3
fields of the UUID are supposed to be encoded on little-endian.

Also a minor fix to match variable meaning and mute checkpatch.pl
