All the messages in Thunderbolt consist BE DWORDs.
I didn't find uuid definition in the kernel that accurately describes the uuid structure in the messages, which is 4 BE DWORDs.
But on the other hand, all the driver does is copy/compare of uuids, and it can treat uuids as byte array (i.e. uuid_be).
I'll change it in the next patches.
