On that note, I have plans to update some of this time and
*random() voodoo magic kernel code when I import the UUID
support that I and Marcel Moolenaar implemented for FreeBSD.
In FreeBSD, currently, only the uuidgen function exists in the
kernel, while the rest are userland libc'ed. In DFly, I plan to
add a Linux shim support, so we can use our BSDL'ed UUID support
for compiling Linux UUID bits. I used this when porting
JFSUtils; anyway... stay tuned. ;-)
Ciao,
