I didn't see your decimal print changes before they went in, but great
work! That's a real "why didn't I think of that?" change.
Anyway, merging some local patches I have with that prompted me to look
over that file and I came up with the following two patches which might
be interesting. RFC until I build a test harness and made sure there
aren't any stupid bugs, but the ideas are simple enough.
They're so small I'm breaking protocol and including them both in the same
e-mail.

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] lib/vsprintf.c: Simplify uuid_string()
Rather than have a second pass to upcase the buffer, just make the
hex lookup table variable.
I suspect it's a speedup, but since this is not hot code, the important
part is that it shrinks the function from 332 to 256 bytes.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] lib/vsprintf.c: Further simplify uuid_string().
Make the endianness permutation table do double duty by having it
list not source offsets, but destination offsets. Thus, it both puts
the bytes in the right order and skips the hyphens.
This further shrinks the code from 256 to 214 bytes. Eliminating
erratic branches probably helps speed, too.

Arrgh!
Yes, I ran into that compile problem already. I'd already made
that change (I'm not quite Linus; I do *compile* my untested patches
before posting them), but didn't commit it properly, and when I ran
format-patch... :-(
Since this seems to be a positive reaction, I'll put together a test
harmess and make a proper submission.

Make the endianness permutation table do double duty by having it

the bytes in the right order and skips the hyphens.

This has been verified to produce the same output as the older code using
a user-space test harness.

These might be better with a little comment/explanation
of the values as output offsets for each index.

Like this? I had thought about it, and had decied not to change the
existing lacomic code style, as it didn't seem any harder to understand
than the original. But I'm happy to add comments.

But yes, I prefer the char constant, too. And it would be consistent with
the rest of the file.

Andrew generally gets these sorts of changes applied.

I think I did that "*p = 0;" because that's what
I normally use, but consistency is better.
