Can I generate guid from kernel mode?
Thanks,

logic kicks ass:
(1) Horses have an even number of legs.
(2) They have two legs in back and fore legs in front.
(3) This makes a total of six legs, which certainly is an odd number of
legs for a horse.
(4) But the only number that is both odd and even is infinity.
(5) Therefore, horses must have an infinite number of legs.

ExUuidCreate() could be used for GUID generation because
UUID and GUID share the same data type.
