Sometimes we may need to import UUID from or export to the raw buffer, which is provided outside of kernel and can't be declared as UUID type. With current API this operation will require an explicit casting to one of UUID types and length, that is always a constant derived as sizeof the certain UUID type. Provide a helpful set of inline helpers to minimize developer's effort in the cases when raw buffers are involved.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
