Serge,

The caller here is all our end users.

I'd like to argue for carrying a patch against upstream. All the other major 
virtual machines set a system UUID by default:
- VirtualBox: http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch08.html#idp12395280 (search 
for hardwareuuid)
- VMWare: 
http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1541
- Parallels: http://forum.parallels.com/showthread.php?t=32400

Microsoft requires it for Logo Certification, as I understand it.

I can't imagine it doing any harm. I suspect there are countless more
things in the wild depending on one being set than there are ones
expecting a NULL value.
