The uuid_t type is kernel internal, and Paul reports the following build
error when it is used in a uapi header:
usr/include/cxl/features.h:59:9: error: unknown type name ‘uuid_t’
Create a uuid type (__uapi_uuid_t) compatible with the longstanding
definition uuid/uuid.h for userspace builds, and use uuid_t directly for
kernel builds.
Fixes: 9b8e73cdb1 ("cxl: Move cxl feature command structs to user header")

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 reStructuredText 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.
