We do for AFS (and XFS for fs fsid).  My preference would be to
not have the v1 struct defintion but instead provide a few
helpers in uuid.h that use get_unaligned_be* if needed:

	uuid_v1_time_low()
	uuid_v1_time_mid()
	uuid_v1_time_time_hi_and_version()..

too much, in which case I suspect moving struct uuid_v1 back into
afs and living with cast in it is the way to go.
