Can you split the uapi changes into a separate patch?

I'd love to kill the guid_le userspace exposure, but I'd also like to
see how current userspace uses them.  Obviously your change is not
a break in the ABI, but it is a break in the API.  I would prefer if
we could not expose it, but I'd like to hear feedback from the consumers
of these UAPI headers - the fields aren't used in kernel space at all,
but userspace might be using it, and we'll need to look into alternatives
for it.
