Heh.  OK.  Well, that's where we are today, which may not be the best place, but
it's where both Gleb and I based the work off of.

I'll ask a naive question about CMOS; is there room in a standard CMOS to store
a UUID?  From my limited knowledge about it, I thought the CMOS was a quite
small region of ROM, and so there wouldn't really be room for something like a
128-byte UUID.  I could be totally wrong about that, though.
