Differently from older versions, SMBIOS version 2.6 is explicit about
the encoding of UUID fields:
> Although RFC 4122 recommends network byte order for all fields, the PC
> industry (including the ACPI, UEFI, and Microsoft specifications) has
> consistently used little-endian byte encoding for the first three fields:
> time_low, time_mid, time_hi_and_version. The same encoding, also known as
> wire format, should also be used for the SMBIOS representation of the UUID.
>
> The UUID {00112233-4455-6677-8899-AABBCCDDEEFF} would thus be represented
> as 33 22 11 00 55 44 77 66 88 99 AA BB CC DD EE FF.
The dmidecode tool implements this and decodes the above "wire format"
when SMBIOS version >= 2.6. We moved from SMBIOS version 2.4 to 2.8 when
we started building the SMBIOS entry point inside QEMU, on commit
c97294ec1b.
Change smbios_build_type_1_table() to encode the UUID as specified.
To make sure we won't change the guest-visible UUID when upgrading to a
newer QEMU version, keep the old behavior on pc-*-2.1 and older.
