When LVM needs to find a device with a particular UUID it needs to ask for UUID for each device. This patch returns UUID directly in the list of devices, so that LVM doesn't have to query all the devices with an ioctl. The UUID is returned if the flag DM_UUID_FLAG is set in the parameters. Returning UUID is done in backward-compatible way. There's one unused 32-bit word value after the event number. This patch sets the bit DM_NAME_LIST_FLAG_HAS_UUID if UUID is present and DM_NAME_LIST_FLAG_DOESNT_HAVE_UUID if it isn't (if none of these bits is set, then we have an old kernel that doesn't support returning UUIDs). The UUID is stored after this word. The 'next' value is updated to point after the UUID, so that old version of libdevmapper will skip the UUID without attempting to interpret it.
