Some weird old filesytems have UUID-like things that we wish to expose as UUIDs, but are smaller; add a length field so that the new FS_IOC_(GET|SET)UUID ioctls can handle them in generic code. And add a helper super_set_uuid(), for setting nonstandard length uuids. Helper is now required for the new FS_IOC_GETUUID ioctl; if super_set_uuid() hasn't been called, the ioctl won't be supported.

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.
