/*******************************************************************************

  UUID (Universally Unique IDentifier), as defined in RFC4122
  (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc4122#section-4.1), is a 128-bit number
  used to uniquely identify information in computer systems.

  UUIDs contains 5 fields:
  - time_low: 32 bits
  - time_mid: 16 bits
  - time_hi_and_version: 16 bits
  - clock_seq_hi_and_reserved: 8 bits
  - clock_seq_low: 8 bits
  - node: 8 bits * 6

  Each field encoded with the Most Significant Byte first (known as network byte
  order, or big-endian).

  GUID (Globally Unique Identifier), on the other hand, is a 128-bit number used
  in UEFI environments, which is similar to UUID but has a different byte order
  in memory. See https://uefi.org/specs/UEFI/2.11/Apx_A_GUID_and_Time_Formats.html

  GUID also contains 5 fields:
  - TimeLow: 32 bits
  - TimeMid: 16 bits
  - TimeHiAndVersion: 16 bits
  - ClockSeqHighAndReserved: 16 bits
  - ClockSeqLow: 8 bits
  - Node: 8 bits * 6

  TimeLow, TimeMid, TimeHighAndVersion fields in the EFI are encoded with the Least
  Significant Byte first (also known as little-endian).

  Example:
  Consider the same string representation/registry format for MM communication v2:
  "378daedc-f06b-4446-8314-40ab933c87a3"

  In UUID format, it is represented as:
  - Data fields:
    - time_low: 0x37 0x8d 0xae 0xdc (0x378daedc in big-endian)
    - time_mid: 0xf0 0x6b (0xf06b in big-endian)
    - time_hi_and_version: 0x44 0x46 (0x4446 in big-endian)
    - clock_seq_hi_and_reserved: 0x83
    - clock_seq_low: 0x14
    - node: 0x00, 0xab, 0x93, 0x3c, 0x87, 0xa3
  - Byte representation in memory:
    - 37 8d ae dc f0 6b 44 46 83 14 40 ab 93 3c 87 a3

  However, in GUID format, it is represented as:
  - Data fields:
    - TimeLow: 0xdc 0xae 0x8d 0x37 (0x378daedc in little-endian)
    - TimeMid: 0x6b 0xf0 (0xf06b in little-endian)
    - TimeHiAndVersion: 0x46 0x44 (0x4446 in little-endian)
    - ClockSeqHighAndReserved: 0x83
    - ClockSeqLow: 0x14
    - Node: 0x00, 0xab, 0x93, 0x3c, 0x87, 0xa3
  - Byte representation in memory:
    - dc ae 8d 37 6b f0 46 44 83 14 40 ab 93 3c 87 a3
